Steffy: Oh, my god. Sheila?

Taylor: Ugh, hi.

Brooke: Hi. Wow, it’s really coming down out there.

Taylor: Yes, it is getting worse. Oh, I thought it was gonna let up.

Brooke: I’m sorry I had you come all the way over here.

Taylor: No, I have been driving around in this mess all day long. I’m happy to be indoors. Most of the traffic lights are out.

Brooke: Oh, you know, the lights have been flickering on and off in here.

Taylor: It’s a ghost. So, why did you want to see me?

Brooke: Uh, I wanted to talk to you about what happened earlier with thomas.

Taylor: What happened?

Brooke: Thomas was voted out of forrester creations tonight.

Katie: Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.

Carter: Oh, this did not make for a very good umbrella.

Katie: Oh, you tried, but it was raining sideways out there.

Carter: Oh, man, I should’ve checked the weather before suggesting we walk back from dinner.

Katie: Oh, well, I guess we won’t be having that glass of wine on your rooftop either.

Carter: Rain check?

Katie: Oh– that’s– oh, there you go. That’s good. That’s a good one.

Carter: Oh, man, we were supposed to toast to your health and slow dance under the stars.

Katie: Mother nature had other ideas, I guess.

Carter: Fortunately, so do I. I think I know where I can find a bottle of wine around here. And we can still slow dance. But first, we should get out of these wet things.

[ Katie chuckling ]

Katie: Hm, you really got the worst of it. Trying to use your jacket to shield me from the rain.

Carter: It’s the least I can do after dragging you into a storm.

Katie: You really are soaked. You should take this off. We can throw it in one of the dryers downstairs.

Carter: That’s a good idea. Unless this is you trying to get me out of my shirt.

Katie: You caught me.

[ Thunder booming ]

Taylor: No. How? How? The vote was unanimous. Ridge? Steffy?

Brooke: I’m sorry you have to hear this from me. I really thought ridge might have told you.

Taylor: Oh, I don’t– I don’t think that steffy or ridge could tell me that right now. They must be going through a lot, too. Thomas hasn’t called me. He must be devastated. His work at forrester was everything.

Brooke: We did what was best for the company. It’s not like we were trying to get back at him.

Taylor: I understand.

Brooke: Do you?

Taylor: I’m trying to. Um, you know, I’m– I’m– I’m seeing things from a different perspective these days. Thomas’ behavior. My relationship with ridge. With you. I mean, it’s– it’s really affected my kids, you know? There was a time when something like this would have caused a huge logan/forrester battle.

Brooke: Not anymore.

Taylor: Not anymore. I love my son so much. He’s not a bad person. He’s not. He just– he makes bad decisions. I am just so sorry for everything. He’s put us all through a lot. And– and what he did to you is… I don’t blame you for not wanting to see him around here.

Steffy: Oh, my god! No, oh, my god, no, finn!

Sheila: I don’t have any weapons, I swear. I just– I just want to talk. I’ll stand right here. I won’t move.

Steffy: There’s no phone service, the power’s out.

Finn: What did you do? What did you do?

Sheila: Just must’ve– must’ve been the storm.

Finn: The storm.

Sheila: Please, just listen to me. The police aren’t coming, and your security’s indisposed at the moment. And I’m not leaving. I’m not going anywhere. And you need– you need to hear. I just– I want to live in peace and harmony. I want– I’ve always wanted my previous family.

Finn: Never say that. You are not our family! You’re going to prison for the rest of your life. Nicorette knows quitting smoking is freaking hard.

Carter: Getting out of these wet things is not a bad idea.

[ Katie shivering ] Look at you. You’re shivering.

Katie: So, you want to strip down to warm up?

Carter: I’m feeling warmer already. And it’s a good thing this is a fashion house. There are robes right down the hall.

Katie: Okay, well, then… give me your clothes. I’ll put them in the dryer with mine.

Carter: Okay. Uh.

[ Katie chuckling ] There we go. Pants are wet, too.

Katie: Oh, boy, all right.

Carter: All right.

Katie: Thanks, mother nature.

[ Both laughing ]

Carter: Ugh. Thank you.

Katie: No, carter, really, thank you.

Carter: For what? This was supposed to be a romantic celebration. Evening on my terrace overlooking the gorgeous view of the ocean.

Katie: Well, the storm is pretty romantic. And I’m liking the view just fine.

Taylor: Things would have been so different for thomas if we would have made this choice sooner.

Brooke: What thomas did made us realize that it was necessary.

Taylor: Well, there’s a bright spot in all of this.

Brooke: Yeah.

Taylor: You know, I was thinking about what you said. About how thomas had to watch his dad go back and forth between us for all those years. Seeing his mother heartbroken all the time. It made him so angry.

Brooke: I think our kids just want us to be happy.

Taylor: Yes, they do. Isn’t it so crazy that we thought our happiness depended on ridge?

Brooke: Yeah, but not anymore.

Taylor: No, not anymore. You know what? I– I want our kids to see this. I– I– I- our grandkids. Everyone we care about.

Brooke: Gosh, it feels so good, right?

Taylor: Yes!

Brooke: Choosing ourselves!

Taylor: It feels amazing and not running away from it because I think I have to. You know what, brooke? I’m happy. I’m– I feel fulfilled right now. I really do. And there is– there is nothing that is gonna mess that up for me. Well, almost nothing.

Brooke: Don’t worry, thomas will contact you–

Taylor: No, it’s not just about thomas. It’s sheila.

Brooke: Ah, yeah.

Taylor: Sheila carter is alive. She is out there and she is still a huge threat to our families.

Sheila: You don’t need to be afraid of me–

Finn: You’re the one that should be afraid, sheila.

Steffy: Finn, no! No, no.

Finn: You’re sick. Okay? You– you faked your own death.

Sheila: I did that for you so you can move on.

Finn: You did it so you could escape.

Finn: So, you could have closure–

Steffy: Then why are you still here?

Sheila: I couldn’t leave! I needed to make sure you were all right.

Steffy: You’re a liar. You were– you were stalking us. I saw you at il giardino!

Sheila: I didn’t know you were going to be at il giardino and I’m not following you. I’m not a threat to you. I– I– I understand, if– if you don’t want me to be a part of your family–

Steffy: We don’t want you here. We want you behind bars.

Finn: You should have run away when you had the chance to never come back.

Sheila: Don’t you think I tried that? I came up with a brilliant plan. I executed it perfectly and everyone believed it. Everyone. Except for you, my brilliant, gifted son.

Steffy: What you did was sick!

Sheila: It was horrible and it was excruciating, but that’s what you do when you love family, and I would do anything for you. I would do anything, regardless of how much it hurt me.

Finn: Then turn yourself in.

Sheila: I don’t– I don’t need to go to prison. I am not a threat to you. If you could just let me explain.

Finn: Explain what? You shot me. Your own son. And then, you shot my wife. You could have made your grandson an orphan. A child you claim to love.

Sheila: I do love hayes. I love you all.

Steffy: Hayes will never know you existed. You’re going to rot behind bars for the rest of your miserable life.

Finn: You’re coming with me.

Steffy: Oh, no.

Sheila: Let me explain, let me explain. No, no, no, no, no. Please, just… just hear me out. Even if it is for the last time.

Sheila: Please.

After advil.

Katie: Okay.

Carter: Nice and warm?

Katie: Yes. Here you go.

Carter: Thank you.

Katie: Oh, you found some wine.

Carter: I did. I have to make good on some of my promises.

Katie: I think you’re doing just fine.

Carter: Well, let’s toast to you. To your grace, to your health, to your beauty.

[ Katie chuckling ] So much for a night away from the office, huh?

Katie: Well, our night is just getting started. And I like where it’s going so far.

Brooke: So, the police were sure it was sheila that steffy saw at il giardino?

Taylor: Yeah. And they have no idea where she is now.

[ Thunder roars ]

Brooke: Oh! Gosh.

Sheila: Just hear me out. Just this once.

Finn: Yeah. What– what? Then what? You think we’re just gonna let you walk out of here? No, sheila. You’re not getting away this time. If I wanted to get away, I could have. I could be living a new life somewhere else. But leaving you wasn’t an option for me. I just– I want your acceptance, your understanding.

Steffy: There’s nothing to understand. Everyone is against you. And that’s exactly what you were saying in that alley when you pulled the gun on me.

Finn: Whoa, whoa, whoa–

Sheila: No one’s more sorry for what happened that night than I am. It was a terrible accident.

Finn: Accident? You nearly killed her.

Steffy: I thought my husband was dead. My family mourned him!

Sheila: I didn’t mean to shoot you, finn.

Steffy: Oh, my god.

Sheila: I didn’t mean to shoot anyone. Steffy just kept coming at me over and over again, threatening to keep us apart. I know that you both despise me and that all you can see is the bad, the mistakes that I’ve made, but coming back to los angeles to meet you was not a mistake. And I can say that because I love you. I am still your mother, I am hayes’ grandmother, and there is nothing that is going to change that. Things could just be so different. Will you just please give me a chance? I just– I just– I just want your acceptance. I– I want to be at peace with you. I– I want to find a way that the two of us can move forward together. That’s all I want.

Steffy: You’re insane, you’re insane, you’re insane.

Finn: You’re going away, sheila. We’re pressing charges. You’re gonna pay for your crimes.

Sheila: I’m not going back to prison. There’s nothing that you could say or do to convince steffy and me to let you go. You’re going to prison, sheila. Tonight. Second date, wish me luck buddy.

Brooke: Nobody has seen sheila since that car chase?

Taylor: No, no. It’s terrifying. Where could she be?

Brooke: Well, she had to have left town.

Taylor: Well, you’d think a rational person would leave town, but sheila’s not rational. She cut off her own toe. She faked her own death. She convinced everyone she was dead, and then she came back.

Brooke: And if she tries that again, she’ll be caught for sure.

Taylor: Yeah, but we just have to keep our guard up. Especially steffy and finn.

Brooke: Maybe it’s safer if they go out of town for a while.

Taylor: Yeah, I wish they would, but, you know, sheila’s caused such an upheaval in their lives. Steffy and finn are determined to stand their ground.

Brooke: You think she’d go after them again?

Taylor: I think she’d try to go after hayes.

Brooke: Oh.

Taylor: But I– I– I– that would be so stupid. She…

Brooke: Well, like you said, she’s not rational.

Taylor: My god, brooke. What is she gonna do next?

Steffy: There’s nowhere to run, sheila. No way to avoid your fate.

Sheila: You know, that’s the problem. People have always underestimated me. Lauren fenmore underestimated me in genoa city. She thought my life was over. But actually, you know what? My life was just beginning. I started an amazing new existence right here in sunny california. And then, jack. Jack thought he could keep me a secret, keep me from my son. And now you’re saying it’s over? That– that there’s no chance of escape? That– that I’m going back to prison? Wrong, wrong, wrong. Oh, you know, I– I’ve gotten used to hearing that over and over again. But it’s never been true for me, steffy. Not for me, because I always find a way out.

Finn: Sheila, there is not one person in this town that has any sympathy for you.

Steffy: Everyone knows you’re crazy and dangerous.

Finn: And you believing that you’re just gonna get away shows how truly disturbed you are.

Sheila: Oh, no, you know what? You’re wrong again, sweetheart, because I’m a free woman right now, and I’m going to continue to be a free woman.

Finn: Okay, that’s enough. Steffy, I think there’s some rope in the top drawer.

Sheila: Oh, here. What, you want to tie me up?

Finn: You don’t realize the evil that you have brought into our lives.

[ Thunder cracks ]

Steffy: Here, here, here.

Finn: You shot me and my wife. You left us for dead. It’s over, mother. Right here, right now. You hear me?

Steffy: Bill.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Stephanie is at home on the phone with Kayla. Stephanie thanks her for her necklace and says she misses everybody. Stephanie sends her love and hangs up. Stephanie comments on having a depressing little Christmas tree, until Alex shows up at her door, surprising her with a larger Christmas tree as he wishes her a Merry Christmas.

Leo comes downstairs and in to the living room of the Kiriakis Mansion where he greets Victor. Victor questions what the hell Leo is doing in his house. Leo questions if he hasn’t heard and announces that he lives here now.

Bonnie goes to the hospital and wishes Sarah a Merry Christmas. Sarah asks how Bonnie is. Bonnie assures that she will be okay but Justin convinced her that she should talk to someone about the clown visions she’s been having. Bonnie notes that Marlena agreed to meet her this morning and they just had their first session. Bonnie says it’s just beginning but she feels really good about it. Bonnie then sees a clown in the hospital and worries that it’s happening again.

Gwen goes to Xander’s hotel room. Xander thanks her for coming and hopes he didn’t pull her away from any holiday family festivities. Gwen assures that he saved her from having to go to church with the Hortons, specifically Julie. Gwen asks him what was so urgent. Xander informs her that Sarah is at the hospital, so it’s the perfect opportunity for them to be alone. Gwen questions what for. Xander then presents the lingerie he got for Sarah which catches Gwen by surprise.

Justin goes to the police station to ask Rafe and Jada if Ava has said anything about who her accomplice was. Jada explains that they tried questioning her, but mentally she is completely checked out, so they won’t be getting any answers anytime soon. Justin questions if that’s it and he’ll just never figure out who kidnapped and terrorized his wife. Rafe assures that they are not giving up. Rafe says they are waiting on a forensics report from the warehouse and if anything turns up, they will let him know. Justin thanks them and says this whole ordeal has traumatized Bonnie. Justin worries that Bonnie is starting to feel like she’s losing her mind.

Bonnie confronts the clown in the hospital and says she knows he’s not real and is only a hallucination. Bonnie says she is facing her fears until Sarah comes over and explains that he is Clarence the Christmas Clown, the entertainment for the pediatric patients. Bonnie questions him being real. Clarence tells her to stay away from him and calls her a freak as he walks away. Bonnie decides she’s going to need a few more therapy sessions as Sarah hugs her.

Gwen asks if this is because she told Xander that he owed her one. Xander says it is, but Gwen says he doesn’t have to repay her in this way as she would never ask him to be unfaithful to his wife. Xander clarifies that he’s not suggesting they have sex. Gwen questions the lingerie then. Xander explains that it’s the gift he got Sarah and that Thomas overheard Gwen on the phone saying he owed her, so Gwen told Thomas that she helped him with the gift. Gwen realizes that Thomas told Sarah which Xander confirms. Xander adds that now Sarah thinks that he asked Gwen to pick out some sexy lingerie for her. Gwen remarks that she’d have much better taste. Xander asks if they are on the same page. Gwen says yes but her one request is that they forget the part where she assumed he wanted to have sex with her.

Leo sits with Victor and asks how Christmas mornings work around here and when they open gifts. Victor responds with about an hour after they throw Leo out on his sugar plum ass. Victor calls Henderson to escort Leo out of his house, but Leo reveals that he can’t do that because he is an invited guest. Victor questions by whom. Sonny then walks in and declares he invited Leo.

Stephanie tells Alex that she wasn’t expecting him until tonight, but this is exactly what she needed as they decorate the Christmas tree. Alex figured she might be lonely this morning since her family is out of town. Alex asks if she’s talked to them. Stephanie confirms that she did right before he came. Alex asks how Tripp is. Stephanie says he’s still upset about his mom and he wanted to stay nearby but Steve pointed out it would be a couple days before Ava can even have visitors at Bayview, so it was good that Tripp went to be with Steve, Kayla, and Joey in Seattle. Alex mentions seeing Paulina’s statement about stepping down as Governor, so he thought for sure that she would’ve gone to Seattle. Stephanie responds that it wouldn’t have worked out time-wise since she’s been so busy dealing with the fallout of Paulina’s resignation. Stephanie adds that she’s looking forward to spending Christmas with him and his family. Alex jokes that she might end up rethinking that by the end of the night between Bonnie’s hallucinations and Sonny’s new houseguest as the place is a little more nutty than usual.

Sonny explains to Victor that he was going to tell him last night but he was already asleep when he got home and then this morning, he had to get Arianna ready for Gabi to pick her up. Victor tells him to cut to the chase as to why he invited Leo in to their house. Sonny informs Victor that he told Leo he could stay with them temporarily because he was about to be evicted. Victor questions why that’s his problem. Sonny argues that he couldn’t let Leo spend Christmas Eve alone out in the cold. Victor says that Sonny gave him a warm bed and now it’s time for Leo to scamper back to Hooville. Sonny says that he told Leo that he could stay with them for the holidays. Victor says absolutely not and demands he have Leo removed from the house now or else he’ll call the police to have them do it.

Jada hands Rafe the crime scene analysis and asks if he wants her to stick around to go over it with him. Rafe tells her that her shift is over so she doesn’t have to stay but Jada says she does or else she wouldn’t have an excuse to turn down Kate’s invitation to a Very Brady Christmas lunch. Jada says it was kind of Kate to invite her but with Eric there, it would just be awkward as hell. Rafe understands and decides she can stay and help, joking that she can’t say he never did anything nice for her. Jada points out that Rafe will be paying her double overtime since doesn’t work for free, but says she will return the favor by helping him crack the case of the kidnapping clown.

Gwen is sure that Sarah wasn’t too pleased that she supposedly picked out a sexy nightie for her. Xander confirms it was awkward but it was better than telling the truth since if Sarah ever finds out that he was the kidnapping clown, she’ll never forgive him. Gwen assures that she’ll never say anything and Leo won’t either. Xander asks how she knows. Gwen responds that she trusts Leo and jokes that he enjoyed wearing the muscle suit and wrestling around with Xander a bit too much. Gwen tells Xander that she best get going. Xander thanks her again for everything. Gwen tells him any time. Xander then opens the door for Gwen to leave, right as Justin arrives and asks if he’s interrupting.

Bonnie tells Sarah that she can’t believe she almost punched an innocent clown. Sarah encourages that she didn’t and she was facing her fears. Bonnie worries that therapy won’t be a quick fix. Sarah assures that it’s important to stick with it. Bonnie responds that she’s just tired of being scared all the time, knowing the clown is still out there. Sarah says she’s so sorry that she’s dealing with this. Bonnie talks about how thankful she is that Xander was there to save her from the clown and how it made her feel so bad that she accused him of being the kidnapper which Sarah is surprised to learn. Bonnie says she was sure of it and she was so mean to him about it. Sarah questions why Bonnie thought Xander was her kidnapper.

Justin tells Xander that he can come back another time but Xander says he’s not interrupting anything and that Gwen just came by because he forgot his scarf at the Hortons last night, so she returned it. Xander then asks what Justin is doing there. Justin responds that he stopped by the police station to ask Rafe if he had any more information on who kidnapped Xander and Bonnie but he didn’t have any new information and was awaiting a forensics report from the warehouse. Xander says that’s too bad but thanks Justin for the update. Justin then gives Xander an envelope which he says is a Christmas present and a thanks for rescuing Bonnie. Xander opens it and asks what it is. Justin reveals that he drew up some papers because he’s going to help him sue the pants off Rednax.

Bonnie questions Sarah about Xander not telling her that she went off on him and says that proves what a good guy he is because he probably knew she made a fool of herself. Sarah asks her what happened. Bonnie explains that the night they were both kidnapped, she had run in to Xander earlier in the park and overheard him say the exact words that the Clown said to her and Susan which was “I will not let this situation destroy my life.” Sarah calls that odd and wonders why Xander would be saying that and who he was saying it to. Bonnie adds that she never got the chance to ask as Xander then said to keep your voice down which is another thing the Clown said. Sarah calls that a very strange coincidence. Bonnie says that then she explained to Xander that the Clown texted Justin and Maggie that she was going to see Mimi, which indicated the Clown was someone who knew her, like Xander. Bonnie adds that the clown was also muscular like Xander so it all seemed to fit.

Stephanie tells Alex that she’s glad Bonnie is getting help. Stephanie informs him that she also once suffered from PTSD and it was one of the worst times of her life. Alex asks her what happened. Stephanie reveals to him that EJ DiMera had her kidnapped which shocks Alex. Stephanie explains that when she was dating Philip, she got caught in the feud between the Kiriakis family and the DiMeras. Stephanie says she was held in a morgue. Alex tells her that he’s sorry. Alex says he knew that EJ was a ruthless bastard. Stephanie assures that it was cruel and unjust punishment. Alex brings up EJ being responsible for Tripp’s kidnapping too and wonders why it seems like EJ is making a habit out of messing with her family. Stephanie says he doesn’t know the half of it. Stephanie turns the topic back to the Kiriakis Mansion and asks about Alex saying Sonny has a guest. Alex reveals that Sonny asked Leo Stark to stay with them which shocks her after everything Leo has done to Sonny. Alex remarks that Sonny is a big softie and the opposite of Victor. Alex adds that when Victor finds out, the place is going to be a war zone…

Victor asks if Sonny has completely lost his senses, reminding him that Leo blackmailed him in to marriage and almost destroyed their company with a lawsuit. Sonny responds that he’s well aware of Leo’s past. Victor points out that it was just last year when Leo drugged him and took compromising photos of him in bed to sell to the tabloids. Leo notes that he has apologized to Sonny repeatedly as he feels so terribly guilty about that, especially in light of how incredibly kind and forgiving Sonny has been. Victor doesn’t understand why Sonny would forgive Leo. Sonny argues that he forgave Leo just like many people have forgiven Victor for his transgressions, because he’s genuinely sorry and he’s expressed profound interest in becoming a better person. Sonny is surprised that Victor is so shocked given how many people have forgiven him. Sonny declares that he would now consider he and Leo friends. Victor calls that the stupidest thing he’s ever heard. Victor demands Sonny get rid of Leo now or he’s fired. Sonny questions Victor firing him for giving his friend a place to stay. Victor argues that Sonny calling Leo his friend shows his judgment is impaired. Victor declares that until Sonny comes to his senses, he will just replace him with his brother, Alex. Leo says he will leave but Sonny argues that Victor can’t keep holding his job over his head, especially since Victor begged him to take it but now every time he does something he doesn’t like, he threatens to fire him. Sonny declares that he’s not going to be pushed around anymore. Victor tells him that he can take his righteous indignation and shove it because he’s still out on his ass. Sonny tells Victor to fire him and he doesn’t care. Sonny offers his phone and tells Victor to call Alex to tell him he’s got the job. Sonny declares that he’d rather have his integrity and help out a friend in need than bow down to his ridiculous demands.

Stephanie makes hot chocolate for her and Alex. Alex finishes decorating the tree, so Stephanie declares that it finally feels like Christmas. Alex then gives her a Christmas present of a video game system. Alex explains that Stephanie said she loved playing video games with her brothers back in Seattle and she looked forward to having a tournament with them, but since she couldn’t get back to Seattle, he thought they could have their own tournament. Alex realizes it’s not the most romantic gift, but Stephanie calls it the most thoughtful so it is the most romantic gift that anyone has ever given her as she thanks him.

Xander tells Justin that it’s very kind of him but they talked about this and he doesn’t want to pursue legal action. Justin argues that he was wrongfully terminated for refusing to do something illegal by his boss, so they can’t let this company get away with it. Xander responds that he doesn’t have the money to pay him. Justin says it’s pro-bono after what he did for Bonnie. Justin adds that he could end up with a huge settlement and all of his financial problems would disappear. Xander argues that it would be he said, she said. Justin says he’s worked with less. Justin tells him that all he will need is the full name of his boss before he can file the lawsuit. Xander tells Justin that he doesn’t want to do this. Justin asks why not and if there’s something he’s not telling him. Gwen stops Justin and declares that she will tell him everything.

Sarah asks Bonnie what Xander said when she accused him. Bonnie explains that he vehemently denied it and she was going to tell Justin her theory when she got knocked out from behind. Bonnie says the next thing she knew, she and Xander were both tied up and then the Clown came in which is when she knew Xander was telling the truth because obviously it couldn’t have been him.

Rafe and Jada go over the analysis. Jada notes there isn’t much to go on with no evidence or fingerprints. Rafe notes that it seems like after Bonnie and Xander escaped, the Clown went back there and cleaned up before their guys got there. Rafe then discovers that he might have missed something as forensics found a torn piece of flesh colored polyester fiber which didn’t match anything Bonnie or Xander were wearing. Rafe adds that Bonnie said the clown was wearing a blue suit again, nothing flesh colored. Jada calls it strange.

Stephanie and Alex play a racing video game together. Stephanie wins the game. Alex jokes that he never would’ve bought it for her if he knew she’d be such a monster at it. Stephanie says she’s just competitive. Alex jokes that she had an unfair advantage due to her racing background, so they decide to try a different game.

Victor gives in and tells Sonny to keep his job which surprises him. Victor declares that he changed his mind because he has a heart of gold. Victor tells Sonny that he’s made his decision, so he should just accept it. Sonny decides that it’s accepted and that means Leo can stay. Victor says as long as he’s put in a room far away from he and Maggie. Leo thanks him and says any room is fine, joking that he wants one with a bathroom. Leo gives Victor his word that he will never hurt Sonny again. Victor doesn’t know how Leo expects people to take him seriously while sitting there in pajamas. Victor then asks Sonny how his husband feels about his little sleepover party. Sonny admits he hasn’t told Will yet which Victor says he suspected. Sonny explains that Will decided to stay in LA to work instead of coming home for Christmas, so he doesn’t get a say in this. Victor remarks that if he did, Leo would be out on a park bench while Sonny would have a lot of explaining to do.

Justin asks what Gwen knows about Xander’s situation. Gwen responds that she knows the name of his boss and claims that it’s Maeve Wilson. Justin asks how she knows that. Gwen claims she was going to interview her to do some press for the company but when she found out they were crooked, she ditched the story. Justin asks if he has her contact info. Gwen says she has her e-mail in her research file somewhere. Justin says he has to pick up Bonnie from the hospital and asks if he can come get the info from Gwen after. Gwen says sure. Xander adds that he actually has to get to the hospital too since Sarah has enlisted him to play Santa for the kids in pediatrics. Gwen jokes that she’d love to see that. Xander asks Justin for a ride over there so maybe he can talk him out of the lawsuit on the way. Justin says sure but insists he won’t change his mind. Xander tells Justin to let him grab his costume and then he’ll meet him at the car. Justin tells Gwen that he will see her later and exits. Xander questions Gwen as to what the hell that was all about. Gwen argues that Justin was getting suspicious. Xander understands but questions who she’s going to get to play Maeve Wilson, asking if she’s going to Leo to dress in drag or call his old friend Jackie. Gwen assures him that Maeve Wilson actually exists and is a girl that she went to school with who was a real proper bitch. Xander questions how that’s relevant. Gwen says it’s not as they are going to send Justin on a wild goose chase and Xander will never be found out.

Jada asks Rafe if it’s possible that the fabric is from the clown mask. Rafe says it’s hard to say as all they know is that Susan bought the mask in the town square and it was made of latex. Jada asks if there’s anything else. Rafe notes that forensics also found piece of poly filled padding like the kind used in stuffed animals or pillows. Jada wonders if it could’ve been made at the factory or the warehouse. Rafe says his gut is telling him that this ties back to the kidnapper but he’s just not sure how. Rafe gets a call from Gabi and promises he’s leaving work soon and won’t be late. Rafe hangs up and tells Jada that he will have to pack it in soon because he can’t be late for Christmas lunch. Jada tells Rafe that he can go ahead while she sticks around to work on the file. Rafe suggests Jada come with him instead. Jada doesn’t want to impose but Rafe assures that she wouldn’t be as it’s just Gabi, Li, and Arianna so it’s all very casual. Jada asks if he’s sure. Rafe says she’d be doing him a favor since he wouldn’t be the odd man out. Jada agrees but says she would like to stop somewhere first and she’d like him to come with her.

Justin goes to the hospital to pick up Bonnie. Justin asks if she’s sure she doesn’t want to stick around for the Christmas party. Bonnie assures that she doesn’t want another run-in with Clarence the Clown. Xander arrives dressed as Santa Claus and gives Bonnie a candy cane. Justin wishes Xander good luck with the kids and says he’ll get back to him regarding what they discussed. Justin tells him to have fun as he exits with Bonnie. Sarah asks Xander what that was all about. Xander responds that Justin was just helping him with something and he’ll explain later. Xander and Sarah as Santa and Mrs. Claus then head for the party.

Sonny and Leo eat together in the living room. Leo talks about Sonny going above and beyond by sticking up for him and being willing to lose his job rather than have Victor throw him out. Sonny says it was as much for himself as for Leo as he is sick of Victor pushing him around. Leo calls it totally impressive. Leo then gives Sonny a Christmas present. Sonny argues that Leo is broke so he shouldn’t have got him anything. Leo insists and calls it a small token of his appreciation for letting him stay. Sonny opens the present and it’s a t-shirt that says “Gay as Christmas Morning”. Leo says he saw it in the store window and immediately thought of him. Sonny thanks Leo and says he loves it.

Stephanie and Alex play a dancing rhythm based video game. Alex gives up and jokes that Stephanie must be a professional dancer. Stephanie says she wasn’t but she was a cheerleader in high school. Alex jokes that he gives up at the games because she has all these secret advantages. Alex says he does have some talents as he kisses her.

Rafe and Jada arrive at the hospital. Jada tells Rafe about how her dad used to talk about the hospital Christmas party. Rafe calls it a wonderful tradition. Jada thanks him for coming with her. Xander as Santa speaks to the kids and has Sarah read the Christmas Story to the kids. Rafe, Jada, Xander, and the kids watch and applaud when Sarah finishes.

Stephanie jokes that she knew Alex was good at something. Alex guesses he’s not a total loser. Stephanie calls him a champion kisser. Alex asks for a victory lap as they continue kissing. Alex stops and asks her what’s wrong. Stephanie suggests they move this to her bedroom.

Xander and Sarah pass out presents to the kids. Jada remarks to Rafe that she’s surprised that a man as vain as Xander would willingly cover up his muscles with all that padding. Rafe then comes to a realization about flesh colored filling and the padding. Rafe declares that the kidnapper was wearing a bodysuit under his clothes. Jada asks why which Rafe calls a good question.

Justin and Bonnie go to see Gwen at the Horton house. Gwen gives Justin a folder that she says includes Maeve’s e-mail and all her research into Rednax. Justin thanks Gwen. Justin says he knows Xander is hesitant to pursue the case, but calls it the right thing to do. Bonnie then sees the folder and notices that Rednax is Xander spelled backwards which she calls a coincidence.

Sonny tells Leo that it was really sweet of him to get him the shirt and says he can’t wait to wear it. Leo says it’s the least he could do and suggests Sonny try it on now, adding that if it doesn’t fit then he will return it to get him the right size. Sonny says okay and removes his shirt. Will then walks in to surprise Sonny for Christmas but sees him shirtless with Leo in the room. Will then questions what the hell is going on here.

A tribute video aired to John Aniston (Victor Kiriakis) who passed away on November 11, 2022 as this was his final episode.

Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Bonnie saw Sarah at the hospital. Bonnie finished her session with Marlena. Bonnie saw a clown and started yelling at it. Sarah calms her down. Bonnie said she was tired of being scared. She said the clown was still out there. She said she was grateful that Xander was there for her. She said she felt bad for accusing Xander of being one of the kidnappers. Sarah wondered why she felt that Xander was one of the kidnappers. Bonnie told her why she felt that way. Justin asked Rafe and Jada about the person who kidnapped Bonnie. Rafe said they were waiting on a forensics report on the warehouse where Bonnie and Xander were held. Rafe said they would let him know if they find out anything. Justin left the police station. Rafe and Jada went over the report. They saw a piece of polyester that didn’t match Bonnie or Xander’s clothes. They saw stuff that was in pillows. Gabi called him to remind him about their lunch. He asked Jada to come with him. She agreed to go, but she wanted him to go somewhere with her first. Xander wanted Gwen to come to his motel room. She showed up. He showed her the lingerie that he got for Sarah. He said it was the gift he told Thomas that she helped him get for Sarah. He said if Sarah asked, she would know what to do. When Xander opened the door for Gwen to leave, Justin was there.

Justin told Xander that he was going to help him sue Red Nax since he helped find Bonnie. Justin said he needed the boss’s name so he could file the suit. Xander tried to tell Justin that he didn’t need his help. Gwen said the boss’s name is Maeve Wilson. She said she had the contact information from when she started the story on Red Nax. Justin said he would get it from her later. When Justin left, she told Xander that Maeve Wilson was someone she went to school with. She said they would send Justin on a wild goose chase. She said Xander would never be caught. Jada and Rafe went to the hospital for the hospital party. She said it was one of her father’s traditions. Xander was at the hospital dressed as Santa. Sarah was dressed as Mrs. Claus. Xander read to the kids. Jada told Rafe that she was surprised that Xander would cover up his muscles with the padding. Rafe figured out the flesh-colored material and padding was a body suit worn under the clown clothes. He wondered why the person would do that. Leo showed up in the living room at the Kiriakis mansion. Victor was upset that Leo was living there. Victor wanted Henderson to throw him out. Leo said he was invited. Sonny showed up and said Leo was telling the truth. Victor wanted to know why Sonny would invite Leo to stay. Sonny said he needed a place to stay. Victor said it was time for Leo to leave. Victor wondered why Sonny would forgive Leo. Sonny said he forgave Leo the same way people forgave Victor. Sonny said Leo was genuinely sorry and wanted to be a better person. Sonny said he considered him a friend. Victor said that was the stupidest thing he heard. He told Sonny to get rid of him or he was fired. Sonny said he would rather help a friend to give in to his demands. Victor gave in and let Sonny keep his job. He said Leo could stay as long as he is far away from him and Maggie. He asked what Will thought of it. Sonny said Will didn’t know. Victor said he had a lot of explaining to do. While Sonny and Leo were alone, they started playing around. Will walked in and wanted to know what was going on.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Baby crying ] You have a beautiful daughter. I know. I mean, she — she’s not m– she’s not my — she’s not my kid. I just delivered her. Well, helped, anyways. Right, the christmas miracle baby everyone’s been buzzing about. Isn’t she spectacular? Do you know her name? Britta. Britta noelle. Oh, that’s quite a special name. Yeah, well… she’s named after a very special woman. “Join me for my first ever birthday party on new year’s eve.” Britt, you wanted to see me? Excuse me? I got a message to meet here. So, what’s up? I have no clue. I got the same message. I assumed it was from my co-chief of staff. If this is somebody’s idea of a joke — oh, good. You’re both here. Can we take care of a little piece of business? And what business is that?

[ Door closes ] Well, the business we’ve all chosen, dr. Westbourne — the business of saving lives. Brussels sprouts? That is so 2022. Maxie? What are you doing here? Oh, I’m meeting with britt to go over the menu and details about her big birthday party. What’s your excuse? Uh, actually, britt wants my opinion to make it a birthday bash this town will never forget.

[ Chuckles ] No offense, but I’m the professional party planner. And I’m a professional party animal, so, uh, move over. Hmm. Heather: Hello?! How long do you have to wait to see a doctor in this hospital?! I’m a very important pers– oh, my. If it isn’t detective dreamboat. You didn’t have to get all dressed up just to see me, you know. Oh, I didn’T. Oh, you were at that memorial, weren’t you? I read about that in the paper. That brave young officer killed in the line of duty. I do so wish that you’d let me help you find his killer. And then, you know, you could maybe help me in return.

[ Footsteps approaching ] Another mourner. Ooh, that’s a really nice dress, doc. Is that armani? Ugh. You let me know when I can take this one back where she belongs. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. No, detective, though, think about it. Seriously. I’ll scratch your back if you scratch mine. Just to be clear, this is a court-appointed evaluation. Right. This is gonna help the judge determine whether you are sufficiently rehabbed so that you can return to custody at d’archam. You know, the only thing is my neck still really hurts, um, dr. Robinson? Yes. Oh. Are you by any chance related to that lovely young girl who was on trial earlier this year? That’s my daughter, yes. Please look right here. Pcpd. Did rory proud. But I’m surprised his — his family didn’t attend. Oh, well, commissioner ashford told me that she invited them personally, but they were just too upset to come. They’re having a private burial just for family, which I totally get, ’cause this is still really hard to believe that it’s happening. Good morning, trina, curtis, marshall. Trina, I just want to assure you that whoever took officer cabrera’s life will be made to pay the price. That I solemnly promise. This killer’s already claimed too many lives. Makes you wonder, when’s it gonna end? It ends when we find esme. Who’s we?

I just meant we, the people of this great city. Hello, laura, curtis. Hey, sam. Trina, how are you? I’m getting through it. Thanks for asking. You know, spencer, I think it’s very nice of you to be here to support your friend, but I just want to say to everyone it’s very important that we all stand back and let the pcpd do their jobs. Of course, grandmother. I’m a cassadine, not a cop. The last thing that I want to do is stick my neck out there and, well… spencer, it is best if you stay in your lane.

[ Cellphone rings ] Dante? Yeah. Where are you? Hey. I was just in with hannah webber. She’s dropping hints like she could give us some information on the hook.

But it’s gonna come

with a price tag. How much? I don’t think she’s talking about money. Got it. On my way. Robert, is dante okay? Oh, overworked, underpaid. Yeah, he’s fine. Does he have a lead, I hope? Well, that remains to be seen. But if there is one, you’ll be the first to know. No text from britt. Or did she text you? Nope. Hm. Wonder what’s keeping her. Well, I’ve already started preparing a wish list for the party. From swag for the guests to a signature cocktail. Don’t bother. I already designed a cocktail for britt. Bourbon, rice wine, and ginger. And what’s it called? The britch. What else? And what makes you the expert?

[ Chuckles ] She’s my best friend, as well as my drinking buddy. Okay, well, I’m family — mother to her nephew. I know britt’s likes and dislikes. I’m family, too. Chosen family. Congratulations. Oh, she’s not — oh, hey, it’s you. I heard what you did. I guess the saying is true. It really does take a village to bring a new life into this mixed-up world.

[ Monitor beeping ] Yeah, well, britt, you know, dr. Westbourne, she — she did all the heavy lifting. Honestly, I was just trying not to pass out. Really? Because the way I heard it, you pitched in until the paramedics could get through the snowstorm and deliver mother and child here to G.H. To be honest, I was scared to death. I mean, I-I’ve delivered a foal to a nervous filly before, but [Sighs] This was a whole new ballgame. To top it off, the — the pregnant woman, she was dressed as mary on christmas eve. So no pressure there.

[ Baby coos ] Why do you always do that? Do what? Someone tries to give you a compliment or pat you on the back, and your first response is that you don’t deserve it. Well, that’s easy. Because I don’T. Okay, so what we’re talking about here is a state-of-the-art diagnostic tool that’s been recently federally approved. And its ability to locate cancer cells and other potentially life-threatening illnesses is so cool. I-it’s remarkable. Sounds great, but I’m gonna beat britt to the punch and ask how much. Um, yeah, I’m not gonna lie. It’s — it’s pricy. But I think it would be a great investment for G.H. How much? Low six figures. You don’t have to say it. We can’t afford that. Um, yeah, you’re right. You know, we — we can’t — we can’t approve that big of a purchase. So why don’t we just recommend it to the board and pull the trigger? Wait, wait. What is happening? Normally, when I zig, you zag, that’s our deal. Now, all of a sudden — I zig, you zig, we zig together. Are we done here? No, britt, stop. You’re not going anywhere until you tell me what’s really going on. The only good thing about d’archam is we do get access to the media. And your daughter’s trial was a really big deal in the padded cells. You know, ’cause it was so salacious. College student taping her best friends doing the dirty and then sending the sex tape to the entire university? The inmates really ate that up. You know, ’cause it was so juicy. It must have been so hard for you, you know, as trina’s mother, to watch, right? I mean, of course, I knew right from the beginning she was totally innocent. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Open up. Say ahh. Ahh.

[ Speaks indistinctly ] Sorry. As someone who’s been falsely accused myself many times over the years, I always root for the underdog. And besides, I mean, it was obvious from the beginning she was totally set up. What was the name of that, um, other suspect again? That was esme prince. Right, esme prince, yeah. The girl that’s gone missing. So tell me, dr. Robinson, does your daughter ever talk about that esme?

This doesn’t make any sense. Always when it comes to spending, you’re squeezing every dime. And now suddenly you’re all about letting the money flow? This isn’t you, britt. So what gives? Britt, you want to tell her, or should I? Tell me what? Okay. N-n– you know, everyone thinks that terry is some great healer, and I’m just ebenezer scrooge in charge of the budget. Well, you know what? I delivered a miracle breech baby on christmas with the roads blocked by snow assisted by two doctors who are not ob-gyns, the quartermaine family, and their — their lame… stable bum. Okay. The conditions weren’t ideal, but I know you’re an experienced ob trained for anything, right? No, no, no amount of training prepared me for how I felt. Here at the hospital when you have a breech baby, we usually opt for a c-section. At the quartermaines’, I had to deliver the baby breech. Do you have any idea all the things that could have gone wrong? After I delivered that little girl and I put her in her mother’s arms, it was the first time ever I realized life is a miracle and it should never be taken for granted. What? Suddenly you’re agreeable. Then you start talking about miracles. Were you visited by three ghosts last night, showing you how your life might turn out? Okay, chosen family, if you know britt so well, tell me why this party is so important to her. I’m not sure. There are some things even drinking buddies don’t share. But britt did mention to me that she wanted to be remembered as more than the woman who wound up getting knocked into the metro court pool when cody parachuted into town. Remembered? Is she planning on leaving port charles? Nah, I think it has to do more with her birthday and the reminder she’s not getting any younger and she just wants to make the most of every second. Hmm. Well, I guess that is our job to make it happen. So, what are you thinking about for music? Show tunes? No. I meant should we have a deejay or a live band?

[ Sighs ] Okay. Deejay, for sure. You know, I actually know this guy from the foam party circuit who’s a genius and totally ripped and… wait. Do not even go there. That’s the theme. Foam party! You know, it’s too bad you didn’t turn out to be mine, because if you were, I would have talked some sense into you a long time ago. So you’re a fan of tough love or something? I don’t know a lot about your past, but it’s clear to me that you’ve been burned before and you’re letting that define who you are today. Because honestly, all love is tough, and a lot of people fail at it. The trick is to get back on that horse. Am I right? I’m assuming you’re in your formal dress for the memorial service for that cop who was killed in the line of duty. Is that what you told the others? Honor officer cabrera by getting back on the horse or squad car? That’s what he would have done? It’s a good speech. Wish I would’ve thought of it. For what it’s worth, even if it wasn’t me, I genuinely wish you had a good dad growing up. Every kid deserves that. If I’d had a good dad like you, I hope I would’ve listened to him. Might have spared me from doing something I’ll always regret. You know, that’s the second time you made a reference to a bad decision. Do you want to talk about it? Um, sorry to interrupt. I got your text. Do you have an update on heather webber? Uh, yeah. She thinks she can get ryan to open up about esme prince. Well, this I got to hear for myself. Deep breaths, please.

[ Inhales deeply ] Hello, heather. Remember me? Of course I do. How could I forget my favorite scorpion? Scorpio.

[ Chuckles ] Detective falconeri suggested that, uh… you and i have a chat together. Did he? Why don’t I step outside and give you two a little bit of privacy? Uh, doc, why don’t you stick around? I’d like some help on evaluating looney tunes here. Now, hey, is that any way, really, to talk about a witness who could help you track down a killer? A killer, I might add, that the pcpd has been clueless to track down so far. Doctor, do you feel that our friend here is ready to go back to d’archam? Without a doubt. I see no ill effects from the crash of the transfer van. I don’t see why she can’t be back in her cell by tonight. That is so what I wanted to hear. Oh, robert, come on. Wait. I’ll tell you what you want to know. Why do I feel there’s a “but” in there somewhere? Smart as a whip and handsome. Just like I remember. Come on. Just pull up a chair and we’ll see how we can help each other. Toda y’s ceremony was toughon everyone, but I know that it was especially tough on you, trina. Yeah, it was. But I keep telling myself that rory won’t be forgotten and his killer will be found. Mayor collins. Raymond mcavoy with the invader. Any thoughts on the hook killer claiming another victim? Officer cabrera represented everything that was good and fine in port charles. And as his good friend trina robinson just told me, rory will never be forgotten. Officer rory cabrera was in his rookie year… now is as good a time as any to put our plan into action. Unless you’re having second thoughts. Not one. If we have to make ourselves the targets to catch rory’s killer, then so be it. Esme’s gonna pay. Hey, thanks for helping me out. Of course. You can easily get helpful customer service over the phone or on the progressive app pretty much anywhere. Thank you, mayor collins. This will be posted to the invader’s website as part of ongoing coverage on the hook killings. Can I get a picture? Sure. Of course we will. It’s the least we can do to honor rory’s memory. I didn’t know spencer and trina were on speaking terms. Yeah. I didn’t know there were either. I got it. Thank you so much.

[ Cellphone rings ] Excuse me. I hope they post that photo with the story. Mm. Nice photo. Now, do you want to tell me what this is really about? Mac: How’s the patient? Oh, crazy like a fox or up to no good — you take your pick. But robert didn’t need me to tell him that. I’m gonna get her paperwork together right now and get her out of this hospital asap. Spring ridge? Well, of course, I’d prefer unconditional freedom, but if you’re unable to give me that, I’ll take spring ridge over d’archam any day. For one thing, the food is so much better. They let me paint. And it’s also where I got to know ryan chamberlain. What about ryan chamberlain? What is it about a man in uniform? Heather feels she can get ryan to open up. What can I say? I’ve got a touch. But your help doesn’t come without a price. Oh, mac, it’s not like I’m asking you to pay me. All you guys would have to do is let the bus back to d’archam leave without me on it.

[ Monitor beeping ] Dante, did you, uh — did you tell mac about the small little part I played in delivering that little bundle of dynamite? Yeah, I did, man. I thought you deserved a gold star. And not just for delivering a baby, but you got — you got me and sam face to face the other day. Well, you were grieving a fellow cop who died doing his job. Yeah, but I don’t — I don’t think I knew how much I needed sam to pull me through that. And you stepped in. So thank you. Hey, that’s what friends are for. Don’t worry, terry. I’m not gonna order a christmas turkey and say “god bless us, everyone.” Tiny tim. He lived, remember? Yeah. It’s a sweet story. That’s all it is. A story. Things don’t work out that neatly in real life. Now, um, back to the fancy, new, and extremely expensive equipment dr. Gatlin-holt is recommending. What do you say, terry? Thumbs up or thumbs down? So you’re not gonna zag when I zig? Not this time. Cross my heart. Then let’s recommend to the board that they approve this purchase. Awesome! Done. Great. If the two of you don’t mind, I have a birthday party to plan. Austin, give me a minute. I’ve got a patient waiting. That wasn’t a request. Right.

[ Sighs ] What’s up? You got your pricy new toy. Now give me what I want. What is it that you want, terry? The truth. Britt’s never been this cooperative, this agreeable, this nice. It’s refreshing, right? More like terrifying. What’s wrong with britt? Shingles. Some describe it as an intense burning sensation or an unbearable itch. I get bladder leaks. It’s just a new all right, to be clear, you are complaining that britt’s too nice. Well, when you put it that way, I guess not. But still, we work so closely together and sharing responsibilities. From an administrative perspective — okay, what I’m hearing is that you care about her. Yeah, I do. We started out on the wrong foot, but knowing we had to make it work allowed me to see britt’s strengths. Her drive, her dedication, her refusal to give up on a patient. I’ve grown fond of her myself. Yeah, I mean, knowing britt has made me a better doctor, better person. I know what you mean. Seriously? A foam party? You do know that scott baldwin is gonna be there, right? Do you really want to see him drenched? He could slip and break a hip. Well, for britt’s very first birthday party, we ain’t gonna go with simple and tasteful, all right? Britt westbourne is all about glitter and go-go boots, disco and drama. The girl wants to party like it’s 1977 when the bee gees’ number-one song was “stayin’ alive.” Now you want a disco-themed party? What are you gonna wear? A skintight white suit and some platform heels? You had me at skintight. Now, maybe you were just joking, but that actually sounds like a lot of fun and super hot. I mean, you would look fantastic in glitter eye shadow and farrah fawcett hair. That will never happen. Okay, okay, both of you. Time-out. This party is supposed to bring people together, not launch a twitter war. I asked you both to help me plan this. So it’s time to forget your differences and work side by side as friends.

[ Scoffs ] Friends? Who? Us? We are definitely not friends. Okay, but you’re both my friends, so can’t you just fake it for my sake? Look, britt, brad and I, we’ve been trying, but we do not have the same taste. In anything. Well, get over it. You two have to get along. Don’t you see that? No, not in the slightest. Why is it so important to you that maxie and I become friends? I’m the D.A. I am not a magician. You’re in d’archam for a reason. You’re considered a threat to yourself and to others. Oh, I see. I’m a threat, and I should be in maximum security. But ryan chamberlain, who has a trail of victims from here to hackensack, gets sponge baths at spring ridge? D-do the citizens of port charles really see that as justice? Ryan is hardly a threat. He’s basically a vegetable that blinks. You really believe that?

[ Sighs ] You know something we don’t? Look, ryan may only be able to communicate by blinking, but he can help you find esme prince. The gossip around spring ridge was they had some chemistry when she was an intern there. You know, you might call them two psycho peas in a pod. But, hey, look, if you don’t want to stop esme prince before she murders another cop, I mean like she did that poor officer — I don’t want to hear you say rory cabrera’s name. Do you understand me? Easy, mac. I respect the thin blue line. But if you want to find his killer… I’m your best hope. And I think you know that. What makes you think spencer and I are up to something? Well…I saw you step aside together for a bit. 10 seconds later, you were posing for pictures with the mayor. We just wanted to hear what my grandmother was saying about rory. Since when are your cousin and trina on speaking terms? I don’t know. I guess you would have to ask them. Trina just lost someone she cares about. She’s vulnerable. I’d hate to think your cousin would take advantage. No. Spencer has been through a lot of loss. He knows what it means to grieve. I don’t think he would ever take advantage of trina. Yeah, well, his track record says otherwise. Hey, look, I — I get it. I’m sure when you look at spencer, you see a rich and spoiled kid who you can’t sympathize with. But think about what he did. He went on the stand for trina, gave her an alibi, and even got himself sent to pentonville for his trouble. Yeah, he did the right thing on that occasion. Give him a chance. He’ll do the right thing now. Spencer. May I have a word with you? I know you’re hurting, trina, and I know your friends mean a lot to you, but might I recommend that you stick with joss and cam and remind yourself how spencer has treated you since he’s come back to town? I haven’t forgotten. Don’t you forget either. Forget what? Boundaries. Remember? I guess I can’t help myself. It’s because I — I know. I love you, too. And I’m grateful that you care. But I know what I have to do. I hope so. Hey, son, if you want to join portia, I’ll see to it that trina gets home safely. Does that fit with your boundaries? It does. Tell mom I love her. Will do. What’s going on with you and trina? I promise you, grandmother, I know what I’m doing. Oh, that’s good. Then you won’t mind telling me what it is. Cheese. 10 more. Go! Grandmother, when you said that I’m a better person than I think, I vowed to live up to those words. I want to be worthy of your faith in me. I’m so glad to hear that. Just be the good man that I know you are. That’s exactly what I’m doing. I realize that you and curtis are working on your boundaries. Just so you know, boundaries don’t apply to grandfathers. But you’re not my grandfather. I’ll be your step-grandfather. Look, trina, just remember, whatever else he is, that boy is still a cassadine. Be careful. Don’t worry. I will be. I’ve learned my lesson about spencer. You must have lost what little is left of your marbles if you think we’re going to cut a deal with you. Wait, wait, wait, now. Let’s not be hasty, little brother. I mean, uh, she’s right about one thing — w-we’re short on new leads. So… if ryan came to care about esme, why would he want to give her up? What’s your plan b? You tossed ryan’s room at spring ridge and came up empty. Now all you’ve got is a little earring that links one of ryan’s earliest victims with the murder of officer cabrera. So what? So I can take esme’s place in ryan’s world, become his nanny, his buddy. Whatever he needs. I’ll work him hard and fast, and I promise you I’ll get him to squeal for me. And when he does, I pass the information on to you. You can track down esme prince and end this nightmare. So, boys, we have a deal or don’t we? Wish I’d been a better friend to britt. I was less than up-front with her from the start. About what? Not to get into the gory details, but I-I knew she might be in possession of something that rightly belonged to me.

[ Inhales deeply ] I had my eye on the prize, so to speak. And you used her to get to that prize? You put it that way, I sound like a real horse’s ass. No, you sound like that kid with a chip on his shoulder that I knew back at camp.

[ Sighs ]

[ Baby crying ] Our lives sure have gone in different directions, though, huh? I mean, you’re a police detective in a healthy relationship with sam, a bunch of kids between you. I’m still chasing after shiny objects instead of what really matters. Like a little baby britta noelle. Y-you know, for a minute there on christmas day, britt and I put our egos and agendas aside, focused on something that was higher and better than both of us. And to be honest, we made a damn good team, too. Well, hey, I mean, you did it once. What’s to say you can’t do it again? Maybe you and britt have a chance. You might even go into 2023 on a high note. I get it. The two of you may never become friends. But one day, you’ll look back on my party and I hope you’ll remember how much it meant to me that you were both there. That the two of you helped me make it happen. And if you can work together to create one magical night, then maybe you can look out for each other when I’m not around. Why? Where are you going? Yeah, you going somewhere?

[ Sighs ] I’m just saying things change. People change. Like you and cody. Y-you guys can still patch things up.

At Crimson Lights, Chance comes in too late to help Sharon put together Christmas boxes for Noah to deliver to the local shelter.  When he asks Sharon if there’s anything else he can do, she has him help her with some cleanup, starting with sweeping the floor.

Once they’re both done with their cleaning, Sharon and Chance sit down at a table. She tells him that she misses Rey very much and how she had no idea she would only be spending one Christmas – last year’s – with him as a married couple.  She grieves the family unit she had with Rey and her children, and Chance mentions that his family unit has taken on a shape  he never imagined.

Nate and Elena run into Abby and Dominic  in the hallway outside Devon’s penthouse. Abby realizes that they don’t know about her marriage to Chance being over so she fills them in about the impending divorce. Nate and Elena are shocked and saddened.  While they’re talking, Devon opens the door, saying that he thought he heard them in the hall, all the while glaring at Nate. Abby and  Dom go into Devon’s penthouse for a visit.

Once Nate and Elena are in their penthouse, Nate says that he was thinking about what Abby told them about her and Chance. He also brings up Abby spending Christmas Day with Devon, even for Dom’s sake.  It is apparent that Nate wonders about the timing of Devon and Amanda’s split and Chance and Abby’s breakup. Elena asks if he thinks there’s something going on between Devon and Abby and tells him that he’s jumping to a huge conclusion.

Elena also says that Devon and Amanda’s breakup is none of their business and she doesn’t get why he’s spending the time to speculate about it. Nate says it’s because Devon has gone out of his way to condemn him for being deceitful and duplicitous and wonders if Devon could be described the same way. Elena points out that Nate is trying to turn Devon into a hypocrit. She tells Nate to let it go and try to fix things with his family.

Across the hall in Devon’s apartment, Abby texts Elena about getting the four of them together for a drink at Devon’s.  Abby doesn’t say anything to Devon and Elena doesn’t tell Nate, but the women are optimistic that the men will be on board with it.

Shortly thereafter, Nate and Elena go over to spend time in with Abby and Devon in his penthouse apartment. Things between Nate and Devon start off tensely, but the tension dissipates somewhat when they start talking about old photos and treasured family memories.

At the cabin, Kyle takes Harrison outside to build a snowman. While he’s gone, Summer goes off on Diane about keeping secrets, such as the one Diane pleaded with Kyle not to tell, that being how she actually worked with the authorities to convict Jeremy. Diane is surprised that Kyle told Summer about this. Summer adds that Diane put him in a horrible position, asking him to lie to her like that.

Diane brings up Summer’s mother, Phyllis, who has gone beyond the pale causing trouble for Diane. Phyllis is responsible for Jeremy Stark coming to Genoa City and causing Diane to hide out in the cabin to begin with. Diane tells Summer that she feels for her regarding how Summer has to split her feelings between being loyal to her mother and being supportive of Kyle.

Summer tells Diane not to underestimate her again and to please not put Kyle in a position where he has to choose between his mother and his wife.  Summer adds that there will be a serious problem if Diane inserts herself in a way that causes this to happen again.

When Kyle and Harrison return to the cabin, Kyle gets a call from Jack, who lets him know that  Jeremy claims  he will leave town after he gets the second installment of Jack’s money. Kyle replies that his mother is still in danger.

At the Abbott house, Tucker comes over wearing a Santa hat, bringing presents for the whole Abbott family in a large red sack.  He invites Ashley out to lunch and she accepts. After they’re gone, Traci talks with Jack about how she’s concerned that their family has become unsettled.

Ashley and Tucker arrive at the door to Society, and realize that Abby closed the restaurant for Christmas Day.  However, Ashley tells Tucker that she has a key to the place that Abby gave her in case of emergencies. She says that she doesn’t think Abby would mind if she and Tucker use the kitchen, provided they clean up after themselves.

Tucker and Ashley have fun preparing their meal, then chat and laugh as they eat. Tucker tells her that an opportunnity has presented itself and he has created a business plan for the venture, a brand new company entirely theirs, no ties to Jabot, no ties to the Abbotts. He adds that it would be a dream come true for her.

After leaving Society and arriving at the front door to the Abbott house, Ashley lets Tucker know that she’s not prepared to even consider leaving Jabot, but is flattered by his efforts to lure her away.  Tucker leans in to give Ashley a kiss, she responds, then pulls way, grinning.

When she goes inside, Jack is in the living room and she says that she presumes he saw the close moment between her and Tucker. A frustrated Jack tells her she’s making one mistake after another and Ashley says she wishes he would just trust her for once.

At the cabin, Kyle tells Diane that he brought Summer up to speed on Jack’s news and lets Diane her know it will be a lot harder to get rid of Jeremy than they thought. He adds that if they can’t buy him off then he has another reason to stick around Genoa City.  Diane tells them that she refuses to just sit there and fall apart. She mentions that they need another way to neutralize Jeremy as a threat and she has an idea for how to handle him.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Sharon: Hey, chance. Merry christmas.

Chance: Merry christmas to you. I am here reporting for volunteer duty. Am I late?

Sharon: Actually, noah and mariah and tessa were here earlier packing up food and gifts for the local shelter. They just finished a lot sooner than they thought they would.

Chance: You’re kidding. I am — I’m so sorry. I, uh — I really wanted to help out today, sharon. I figured it’d be a good use of my time between shifts.

Sharon: Yeah, I remember you said you’d be working a lot over the holiday. Did you get a chance to spend some time with dom?

Chance: Yeah, we did christmas eve together, which was great. It was a good time. But, uh, he spent the night with abby, and he’s with her today, too.

Sharon: Well, since you’re here, I could use some help cleaning up. And I could throw in a pot of coffee and some food in return.

Chance: You got yourself a deal.

Abby: [ Gasps ] Happy holidays!

Nate: Happy holidays.

Abby: Hi!

Elena: Ooh, same to you! Did you guys have a good christmas morning?

Abby: We did. I think I might have gone a little overboard with the presents, though.

Elena: How could you not with this little guy?

Nate: Best day of the year, right?

Abby: He thinks so. Although I think he was more interested in the wrapping paper than the gifts themselves.

[ Laughter ]

Elena: Stop. That is so adorable.

Abby: What are you guys up to today?

Elena: Well, thankfully, I am not on call. So, we had a nice little walk in the snow, and now we are looking forward to a peaceful afternoon. How about you? Is chance still working?

Abby: I’m not sure if you guys know, but, um — well, I guess you don’T. Uh, chance and I — we’re getting a divorce.

Elena: Abby. I’m so sorry.

Nate: Wow. This is sad news. I hope you’re doing okay.

[ Door opens ]

Devon: Hey. Thought I heard you out here. Come on in.

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

Elena: Bye.

Nate: [ Sighs ]

[ Doorknob rattles, lock disengages ]

Traci: Could dominic have been any cuter this morning? Seriously.

Ashley: It was such a gift to see christmas through his eyes.

Traci: [ Laughs ]

Jack: Nice to see abby enjoying herself, too.

Ashley: Yeah, well, it’s difficult for her, splitting with chance right now, but she’s determined to give her little boy a beautiful holiday.

Traci: Yeah. She — she seems like she’s holding everything together well.

Ashley: I think she’s stronger than even she knew she was.

Traci: Well, it’s just a shame that she and dom had to leave before kyle and summer and harrison got back from their christmas eve getaway.

Ashley: Yeah. True. I would have loved to have seen them interact.

Traci: Mm-hmm. It is adorable, though, that they took harrison on a santa scouting mission.

[ Chuckles ] I’m sure they’re having a blast playing in the snow and cuddling under blankets and drinking hot cocoa. I just… I just thought they’d be home by now.

Ashley: Me too.

Traci: Yeah.

Ashley: So, jack, you must know where kyle is, huh? What’s keeping him?

Jack: Actually, I haven’t heard from kyle. I don’t know that they had a specific time in mind for their return. I think they just planned on getting home today.

Traci: Well, I don’t want to assume anything, but I have to wonder. Maybe they’re avoiding coming home because it’s upsetting for them to be here with diane gone.

Jack: Well, I just hope they’re having a fun time together, the three of them. And maybe you’re right. Maybe there is an escape in all of it. Whatever they’re doing right now, it’s got to be a lot more fun than sitting here constantly worried what’s going to happen next now that jeremy stark has made his surprise arrival. I wish that had never happened to begin with.

Diane: How awesome is it that santa brought you so many things from your wish list? You must have been a very good boy.

Summer: He has been a perfect angel, and I feel pretty lucky, too. I love these fuzzy slippers that you picked out for me.

Kyle: [ Laughs ]

Summer: This has been the best adventure ever, huh?

Kyle: What a great surprise it was to visit dee dee. It was worth driving super far to visit her in her special christmas place. But we should probably keep that to ourselves. We don’t want anyone else getting jealous that we got to see her and no one else did. Does that sound like a plan?

Diane: I am in heaven right now. I kind of expected that I’d be alone this christmas, like i have been for so many. So, to be here with you right now is the greatest gift I could get. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. So, hey, what do you want to do now? Do you want to play with one of your new games?

Harrison: I want to build a snowman.

Diane: Pbht! I guess he knows what he wants. I like it.

Kyle: You done with your presents? Well, who can blame you after the way it snowed all night? Snowman it is. Your wish is my command.

Diane: Alright. Hey. Whoa. Let’s go get your coat. This way. Come on.

Devon: He fell asleep before his head even hit the pillow.

Abby: Ah. He’s exhausted. Thank you so much for all of these presents. And please thank auntie lily, too.

Devon: Of course. Of course. She had so much fun hanging out with him for christmas eve. It was so cool to see. You know, last year he was so young, he didn’t really know what was going on, but this year he got to experience it in a whole new way. It was fun to watch.

Abby: Mm. I agree. It was just so sweet to see him filled with so much christmas spirit and just surrounded by so many people in his family that love him, yesterday and today.

Devon: Yeah. Did he get to see chance?

Abby: Yeah, we saw him last night. And I think it just shows dominic that, no matter what’s going on, this holiday is all about family. But from what I saw when we came in, I think maybe his daddy lost sight of that.

Elena: Nate.

[ Singsong voice ] Hello? Nate? A little something to warm you up?

Nate: Mmm. Thank you.

Elena: Where’d you go just then?

Nate: I was thinking about what abby told us about her and chance.

Elena: Ah. Yeah. I feel for both of them, especially after everything they’ve been through. I thought they were solid.

Nate: Me too. I wonder what happened. Must have been something pretty intense for them to just split up.

Elena: Yeah, I guess you never really know what’s going on in someone else’s marriage.

Nate: True. But I have a theory. Remember when I told you about devon and amanda’s breakup?

Elena: Yeah, and now amanda’s staying in virginia. That was pretty shocking, too.

Nate: Especially because it seemed to just come out of the blue, just like this news with abby and chance’s divorce. And now abby is spending christmas day with devon?

Elena: Are you saying you think there’s something going on between devon and abby?

[ Chuckles ] Whoa. You are jumping to a huge conclusion.

Nate: When I tried to talk to devon about his breakup, he got extremely defensive and shut me down.

Elena: Yeah, I’m sure because it’s incredibly personal and you two aren’t on the best of terms. Don’t take this the wrong way, but I’m assuming that you didn’t handle the topic with the level of sensitivity that you might have if you hadn’t had a falling-out.

Nate: You might be right, but what about abby showing up today, out of all days?

Elena: She brought dom to see his other father on christmas. And I’m sure with the divorce, she wanted to spend time with her friends.

Nate: You really don’t think there’s more to it?

Elena: What I think is irrelevant because it’s none of my business — or yours. I don’t get why you’re even spending the time to speculate about this.

Nate: Because devon has gone out of his way to condemn me for being deceitful and duplicitous. I’m wondering if the same could be said about him.

Abby: Okay, stop stalling. Fill me in on you and nate. I was hoping that you guys would be in a better place by now.

Devon: Yeah? I don’t know why. I don’t know why you would think that after everything he’s done. His latest move is trying to find out what happened between me and amanda and pass it off as being concerned about me.

Abby: Are you sure that he’s not just trying to reconnect?

Devon: I don’t care if that is what he’s trying to do. Digging into my personal business isn’t the way to go about it. He seems very suspicious of the reason that amanda and I broke up, and I feel like he’s trying to find something to use against me as retaliation. So, if anyone’s forgotten what this holiday is about, it’s not me.

Tucker: Ho, ho, ho.

Ashley: Well, you’re kind of late, aren’t you, santa?

Tucker: [ Sighs ]

[ Feet stomping ] Hello.

[ Door closes ]

Ashley: Don’t you think this is a little much?

Tucker: Well, you know I like to go big.

Jack: Well, thank you for sparing us the helicopter this time.

Tucker: Oh, well, my sleigh is out front.

[ Laughs ] Hope you don’t mind my dropping by. I got presents for everyone in the family.

Ashley: Aww, that’s very generous of you.

Jack: And quite unnecessary.

Tucker: I realize that.

Jack: Well, we don’t have anything for you under our tree.

Tucker: I wouldn’t expect that. Uh, no, I just got a little caught up in the spirit of the season, you know, the joy in giving and not receiving and all that.

Traci: Well, thank you so much, tucker, for the gifts. If you had hoped to hand-deliver something to dominic, I’m sorry — [Chuckles] I’m sorry, but they’ve already gone.

Tucker: Oh, no, that’s okay. I’m gonna see dominic later at devon’S. Um, which means my day is free. And I was hoping maybe you would agree to have lunch with me? Although I don’t want to impose on any abbott family time here.

Ashley: Not at all. I mean, well, we’re having a very quiet christmas, so… yeah, I would actually really like to get out of the house. Let’s go. Bye, you guys.

Tucker: Okay. See ya. Merry christmas.

Jack: Merry christmas.

Ashley: [ Laughs ] Oh, gosh.

Kyle: Aha! Dee dee’s got a carrot for the snowman’s nose and a hat for his head.

Diane: Here you go.

Kyle: Now all we have to do is find rocks for his eyes. You ready?

Harrison: Ready!

[ Laughter ]

Summer: You guys have fun.

Diane: Alright. And stay bundled up. It’s cold out there. I can’t wait to see mr. Snowman.

Kyle: Thank you.

Diane: Yeah. Whew! Thank you again for making this happen. I know that kyle had planned on coming alone until you convinced him that you and harrison should join him.

Summer: You’re welcome. You know, you should keep that in mind going forward. Like it or not, diane, we are a family, and we’re supposed to be sticking together. And yet you’re still keeping secrets. You pleaded with kyle not to tell me that you actually did work with the authorities to convict jeremy stark.

Diane: He told you?

Summer: Of course he told me. And quite some time ago, too. You know, you put him in a horrible position asking him to lie to me like that. You really should know better.

Sharon: Thank you so much for helping me clean up.

Chance: Yeah, well, it’s the least I can do, given I missed the bulk of the work.

Sharon: Well, I don’t really consider this work today. You know, I’m happy to help folks who are less fortunate, especially this time of year. It’s very gratifying for me.

Chance: Yeah. Yeah, I totally get that.

Sharon: Well, you would because you’ve devoted your life to public service. Didn’t you bust a thief recently? Wait a minute. What was his name? It was merry mc…?

Chloe: Mcjingles.

Sharon: Yes!

Chance: Yeah.

Sharon: How could I forget that name? You’re a man of many talents.

Chance: Well…

Sharon: Here. Thanks again for helping me.

Chance: Hey, no problem. I, uh, figured the sooner you can get out of here and get back to your kids, the better, right?

Sharon: Uh, actually, I’m not in a hurry. I already had a video chat with faith this morning, and the rest of us aren’t getting together until later today. Noah’s with allie at the club, setting up for the christmas crowd.

Chance: They’re open today?

Sharon: Yeah. He wanted it to be a place where people without families could go and celebrate.

Chance: Wow.

Sharon: He’s very passionate about it. I’m so happy for him.

Chance: Yeah.

Sharon: And mariah and tessa are just spending some private time alone right now. They’re very hopeful because they received a photo, a sonogram photo, from a pregnant woman who may place her baby with them.

Chance: Wow. So, they might have a kid soon. Huh.

Sharon: Well, nothing’s set in stone, but it’s possible.

Chance: Well, you know, i heard about all the support that they gave abby while I was gone. And of course, after everything mariah has done for dominic, they deserve all kinds of happiness.

Sharon: They certainly do. And they’re not the only ones, chance. You deserve some happiness, too.

Diane: You have every right to feel the way you do. I was just terrified of anyone other than kyle or jack knowing the truth.

Summer: Look, I’m not trying to start a fight with you. I just feel like you should know by now that harrison and kyle come first for me. Their safety and happiness is my number-one priority.

Diane: I appreciate that, as well as the kindness you’ve shown me. But at the same time, I — i can’t ignore who your mother is. I mean, I — I feel for you, constantly having to balance your loyalty to her and supporting kyle’s relationship with me.

Summer: I’m not gonna lie to you. The balance has been difficult. I love my mom, but I’m not gonna excuse her behavior. She’s been out of bounds.

Diane: [ Scoffs ] Thank you for acknowledging that.

Summer: I’m also not gonna turn my back on her. We’ve been through rough patches before, and we always get through them, but you don’t need to worry about that because i can manage the situation.

Diane: Fair enough.

Summer: Just to be perfectly clear, I’m not gonna share any information with my mother that could put kyle or harrison or even you in jeopardy. But I am telling you — don’t underestimate me again. And please don’t put kyle in the position of having to choose between his mother and his wife. Because if you do, we are gonna have a serious problem.

Diane: Alright. Wow. Honest and protective. I can see why kyle adores you. And, more importantly, why he respects you. I am sorry for my mistake. It won’t happen again.

Tucker: I guess we should have called ahead.

Ashley: I should have known it was closed today, considering my daughter owns the place. I just assumed abby was leaving the staff in charge, though.

Tucker: Let’s just go somewhere else.

Ashley: All the good places are probably booked, don’t you think? Uh, there might be another way, though, that we can have lunch here.

Tucker: Should we break in?

Ashley: Oh, good idea. No. I think —

[ Keys jangle ] I think I’ve got a key. Abby gave it to me in case of an emergency, and I don’t think she’d mind if we use the kitchen if we promise to clean up.

Tucker: Aren’t you full of surprises.

Ashley: Yes. I keep you on your toes.

Tucker: Yes, you do.

[ Keys jangling ]

Ashley: [ Gasps ] Yay! My most important kitchen tool?

Elena: [ Sighs ] I wouldn’t continue down this path regarding devon and abby. I worry that you’re projecting your guilt onto devon and turning this into some type of condemnation. And acting on your suspicions probably won’t end well.

Nate: I never said I was going to do anything about it.

Elena: Yeah, but I can see the wheels turning in your head.

Nate: [ Chuckles ] You’re talking like this is consuming me. I promise you, it is not.

Elena: Okay. Then it should be easy for you to give it up. We broke up because you got caught up in the same kind of negativity. I thought you were past this. I thought you understood that you don’t need to pull anyone down in order to lift yourself up.

Nate: You’re making too much of this.

Elena: Am I? You are thriving in your new position at newman media.

Elena: The two of us are doing well. And instead of focusing on that on christmas, you’ve decided to look for a reason to call devon a hypocrite. That is so unhealthy. You need to focus on the good and find a way to fix things with your family instead of making them worse.

Abby: You and nate have to find a way to resolve this conflict.

Devon: [ Sighs ] Do we? It doesn’t have to be today. I’ll tell you that. We really don’t need to even keep talking about him. It’s kind of killing the mood.

Abby: That is the wrong answer. Today is the best day to put aside all of your anger and your resentment. Think about all the blessings that you have in your life. You have your company with lily. You have the most perfect son, who is happy and healthy, and he adores you. And you have a really good friend and co-parent in yours truly. And I, for one, am very thankful for our friendship, even though our connection has caused a lot of drama recently.

Devon: Right, and it’s that drama that I’m worried that nate is gonna try and exploit.

Abby: Come on. What could he possibly do? We have already suffered the worst possible consequence from what happened.

Devon: I don’t know. I don’t want to find out what he can do. You know? He’s clearly running off of emotions right now, and that’s when people lash out.

Abby: Okay. So, maybe try to find a way to put out the fire instead of fuel it.

Devon: It’s not that easy.

Abby: You have to start somewhere. What would your dad think about all of this?

Devon: What would my dad think? You’re really gonna go there?

Abby: Well, I think it’s relevant to the situation. You and neil — you betrayed each other over the years. But you found a way to forgive each other, too. And think about how great it was, I mean, just how close you were in the end. So, what would he think about you having a cousin who lives across the hall and you guys being so disconnected, today of all days?

Traci: Jack, as happy as I am to have been able to spend this time with you, um [Chuckles] The house is just a lot emptier than I expected it would be. It seems like our family is so unsettled right now, with abby’s impending divorce and ashley spending extra time with tucker?

[ Sighs ] And with diane’s departure. I mean, that has its whole set of ripple effects.

Jack: I know this last remark was aimed at me, and I’m sorry that you’ve been caught up in all the tension surrounding diane. I know I didn’t make things any better going after ashley just now, and… look, I-I — I want more than anything for things to go back to the way they were.

Traci: Well, I’m glad to hear it, and I hope it happens sooner than later.

Jack: You and me both.

Traci: [ Sighs ] Okay, well, I — I guess I will go upstairs and pour myself a glass of wine and have a soak in a hot tub with my new peppermint bath oil I got in my stocking. Merry christmas, jack.

Jack: Merry christmas.

Traci: Mm.

Jack: [ Smooches ]

Traci: [ Chuckles ]

Jack: [ Breathes deeply ]

Kyle: Whew.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Hey, dad.

Jack: Hey, son. Merry christmas. How things going on at the cabin?

Kyle: Great. Harrison and I just came in from building a snowman.

Jack: Oh, boy, I’ll bet he loved that.

Kyle: He did. Had lots of opinions. Took on more of a supervisory role. I was the manual labor.

Jack: Listen, I’m glad things are going well up there. When are you planning on coming home?

Kyle: Not sure. Mom, summer, and harrison are out now collecting pine cones. He’ll be pretty worn out after that, but we’ll have to wait for him to fall asleep before we get him back in the car so he doesn’t realize exactly where we are. Why do you ask? Is there something going on i should know about?

Jack: I don’t want to take anything away from your fun time up in the cabin, but I thought you should know what you’re coming home to. I spoke to jeremy stark, made the offer that we discussed, and he said he’s gonna leave town as soon as he gets the second installment. I wish I was confident that he was telling the truth.

Kyle: So, mom is still in danger. I get bladder leaks.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Tucker: See, now, isn’t this nice, working together, being in sync?

Ashley: It’s kind of like riding a bike, isn’t it? You never really forget.

Tucker: I don’t know if I’d put it that way, but certainly being in sync was never a problem for us.

Ashley: Oh, you’re being a little naughty, aren’t you?

Tucker: Oh, says the woman who broke into her daughter’s restaurant.

Ashley: Mm. Needs something.

Tucker: Oh, yes, I’m sure you’re gonna find the absolute perfect blend of flavors, huh?

Ashley: I can’t help it. It’s the chemist in me.

Tucker: Yeah, that makes sense. Be almost embarrassing if you weren’t a good cook.

Ashley: Now, that’s either a dig or a compliment. I think I’m gonna go with the latter.

Tucker: [ Chuckles ]

Ashley: Here.

Tucker: Mmm. Mmm. That is fantastic. That is going to bring out the essence and the energy of the vegetables.

Ashley: The essence and the energy.

Tucker: Yes. You know, I became quite a student of the culinary arts during my travels.

Ashley: Oh, of course you did. Tell me more.

Tucker: Well, I learned to cook from this master at the monastery in south korea.

Ashley: Ah.

Tucker: And he taught me that food is the, um — [Clears throat] The connection that brings the — the mental and the physical energies together and that food harmonizes our body and we become one with the ingredients, et cetera, et cetera.

Ashley: Oh, so, you’re saying that this lunch is actually gonna be a spiritual experience for the two of us?

Tucker: If we did it right.

Ashley: Huh. So, you were an apprentice chef before the racecar driving, I’m assuming, right?

Tucker: Yes.

Ashley: And I’m sure you’ve just had tons of experiences between those two. So, what’s next?

Tucker: Lunch.

Sharon: You really haven’t said that much since we sat down. Did I say something wrong?

Chance: No, no. No, not at all. You’ve been — you’ve been great company. I don’t know. I just, um…

[ Chuckles ] I don’t really think today’s the day to dump all my personal issues on you, you know? Even you deserve a break on christmas.

Sharon: Friends don’t take a day off. So, if you don’t want to talk about yourself at the moment, I — I could maybe share something with you.

Chance: Please, yeah.

Sharon: Um, okay. Well…I wanted to try to keep myself very busy today so that i wouldn’t end up, you know, feeling. But it’s there. I-I really do miss rey.

Chance: Yeah, I, uh… I figured you did.

Sharon: Last year, we had such a special but ordinary christmas, and I thought it would be one of many, of course. I had no idea that I’d be sitting here now, looking back with nothing but the memories.

Devon: I’ll be down in a minute.

Abby: I will be here.

[ Cellphone pings ]

Devon: He’s still out like a light.

Abby: You’re back.

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

Devon: What’s that look about? What’s going on?

Abby: Okay. As someone who cares about you a lot…

Devon: Yeah?

Abby: …Can you do me a big favor? I love what downy does for my sheets and towels.

Diane: Wow!

Summer: Look at all the pine cones we collected!

Diane: Oh, they’re awesome, special.

Kyle: Wow. They look amazing. We’ll definitely have to take them home with us.

Diane: Hey, harrison, do you want to show those to your new stuffed animal? Yeah? Let’s go into the bedroom.

Kyle: Okay.

Diane: There you go.

Harrison: Keep it.

Diane: Come on. Aww!

Kyle: Aww. Thank you.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Door closes ]

Summer: What’s going on?

Kyle: Our hopes that my mom will come home soon have been dashed.

Summer: [ Sighs ]

Sharon: You know, it’s hard to believe that rey and I only shared one christmas together as a married couple.

Chance: It’s unfair. I mean, you guys deserved a lifetime of memories.

Sharon: [ Sighs ] Well, my kids have been a tremendous comfort to me. And my therapy clients and running this place — you know, that’s kept me busy and given me something to focus on. Um…I take pride in having the strength to carry on with my life the way that I know that i should, the way that I know rey would want me to.

Chance: Yeah. I get that. You know, not that what I’m going through compares to what you suffered, but I do understand struggling to come to terms with a big shift in your life as you knew it.

Sharon: Well, loss is loss, and you lost the family unit you had with abby and dom.

Chance: It’s weird not living together. And it’s weird having to divide our time up with our son. And it’s really hard figuring out how to be a good father in the shape that our family’s taken now.

Sharon: I can imagine how hard that must be to navigate.

Chance: Got any advice?

Sharon: [ Chuckles ] No, neither one of us need any advice today, just someone to listen.

Ashley: Whoa.

Tucker: Are you enlightened?

Ashley: I think I am. That was pretty fabulous.

Tucker: Of course. With the combined talents of a scientist and a spiritual master…

Ashley: [ Laughs ]

Tucker: …How can you go wrong?

Ashley: You are a businessperson at heart, and you know it.

Tucker: So are you. Mm, and this is just a small sample of what you and I could accomplish if we were to join forces professionally.

Ashley: You’re actually gonna pitch me on christmas day?

Tucker: Yes. The opportunity has presented itself. And you should know that I have created a business plan for the new venture — brand-new company, all ours, no ties to jabot, no ties to the abbotts, very grand in scale. Um, it would involve paris and would require my deep pockets to bankroll it. And you could invest however much you wish, of course. Be a dream come true for you.

Ashley: You think you know what my dreams are?

Tucker: I know you.

Ashley: Hmm. I’m kind of surprised that you’ve given this so much thought. And even though I don’t know that much about it, I don’t find it totally unappealing.

Tucker: Oh, wait till I lay it out in great detail. And of course you can amend however much you want. But, yeah, you’re gonna see that I am, uh, in fine tune with you, your talent, your personality.

Ashley: Interesting.

Tucker: Mm-hmm.

Ashley: Sometimes I feel like, um, I know you. And then other times, I feel like I don’t know you at all.

Tucker: Yeah, you know me, better than anyone else ever has.

[ Glasses clink ] (Music throughout)

Abby: Well, cheers.

Elena: Yeah. Salud.

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: Cheers.

[ Glasses clink ]

Elena: Mmm.

Abby: Mmm.

Elena: Pinot.

Devon: Hmm. Alright.

Abby: Well, I am so happy that we got snow for christmas.

Elena: Yeah. It makes everything even more magical.

Abby: Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Elena: [ Clears throat ]

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

Elena: So, did dominic get a chance to take a picture with santa?

Abby: He sure did. You have to see this. Look.

[ Both laugh ]

Elena: It’s her background. How cute. Look.

Abby: He was so excited. Like, when we were waiting to meet santa, he was so happy. And then as soon as we got up there, he just lost it. I guess he’s not up for christmas photo shoots.

[ Laughter ]

Devon: Poor little guy. That reminds me of this story that dru told me when I was a kid. When she was young, they used to make her and olivia wear the exact same dresses every christmas for their annual photo.

Nate: Yeah, my, um — my mother told me this story. Uh, they hated dressing alike because they were so different.

[ Light laughter ]

Devon: Right. Right. Yeah. They, uh, — dru would, uh — she said she wanted to buy ballet slippers with the money instead.

Nate: And my mother would have gladly bought a microscope with it.

[ Laughter ]

Devon: That’s right, but they didn’t let them do that. They made them wear these really cutesy dresses with these big bows.

Nate: “Cutesy” is not a word I’d ever use to describe my mother or my aunt.

Devon: Yeah, no. No, me neither. They, uh — they stayed true to their personalities, though. They didn’t hide their feelings. There’s a ton of pictures that I’ve seen with dru’s face that looks just like dominic.

Abby: Aww.

Nate: Fast-forward two years later. They would go on and on about how much they hated those christmas photos, but the second those old photo albums came out, they would start cracking up until tears streamed down their faces.

[ Laughter ]

Devon: Yeah, man. Those pictures became their favorite. Treasured memories.

Nate: Mm.

Ashley: I’m not even prepared to consider leaving jabot, but I’m still very flattered by the effort you’re going to, to lure me away.

Tucker: [ Chuckling ] Okay. Should I take encouragement in that?

Ashley: No.

[ Laughs ] Sorry. I mean, it is a basic human response because it’s so nice to be wanted.

Tucker: Mm-hmm. Well, I meant what I said about creating the dream situation for you. And, uh, we could have this great new company, work side by side with each other. That’s my dream come true. Merry christmas.

Ashley: Hello.

Jack: Hi.

Ashley: I’m assuming you saw what just happened at the door.

Jack: Boy, you’re just making one mistake after another, aren’t you?

Ashley: Oh, jackie, could you please just trust me for once?

Kyle: I brought summer up to speed on dad’s news. Stark is going to be a lot harder to get rid of than we thought, and if we can’t buy him off, he has another motive for sticking around.

Diane: I was initially scared when jeremy came to town, but now that I’ve had a little time to process things, I refuse to just sit here and fall apart. I mean, I thought it would be smart for me to hide out for a while, and then if jeremy thought that I had run off, maybe he would leave town himself. But if that’s not the case, then I am not going to continue to hide in fear.

Summer: So, what are you gonna do?

Diane: [ Sighs ] Well, we need another way to neutralize jeremy as a threat. But that can’t be done from here. So I need to go back to town and show my face.

Kyle: I admire your desire to stand up to him, but he hasn’t become any less dangerous.

Diane: Hear me out. I have an idea about how to handle jeremy stark.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Thank you, mom. No, the necklace you got me is perfect. I’m wearing it now. I miss you guys too. Please give everybody my love.

Okay? I’ll talk to you later. Merry Christmas.

I thought you’d be festive, but nope. Depressing. And now I’m talking to a tree. Even more depressing.

Oh, oh, oh.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas. Stuck. Hell are you doing in my house? Haven’t you heard? I live here now.

Hey, Sarah. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas Fun. How are you? Oh, um, okay. Emmi. I will be, I’m gonna be okay. , uh, just Justin convinced me that I should, well talk to someone about the visions I’ve been having about the clown and kid me, so that’s right. Um, Dr. Evans Saint that she is agreed to meet me this morning and we just had our first session.

Wow. How was. Well, I wasn’t so sure about it at first, and uh, you know, this is still just the beginning and often. Mm-hmm. . I actually, I, I’m feeling pretty good about it really. , I think it’s gonna,

Oh no. Oh no.

Happy Christmas. Thanks for coming over. Hope I didn’t pull you away from any fun holiday festiv. Oh no, you actually saved me from having to go to church with the Hortons specifically Julie. So what was so urgent that I had to high Taylor over here. Oh, Sarah’s at the hospital. So it’s a perfect opportunity for us to be totally.

For what?

This

like sands through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

So Steve told me that Ava’s at Babe, but has she said anything about who her accomplice was? We tried questioning her, but mentally she’s completely checked out. Don’t think we’ll getting any answers from her anytime soon. So that’s. We will never find out who kidnapped and terrorized my wife. Hold on a second, Justin.

We’re not giving up. In fact, right now we are waiting on a forensics report on the warehouse when Bonnie and Xander were held and if anything turns up, of course we will let you know. Thank you both. This whole ordeal has traumatized Bonnie. One minute, she’s fine. The next minute she’s terrifi.

Hallucinating evil clowns. She’s starting to feel like she’s losing her mind. Are you alright? Hey, bozo. Uh, I’m not bozo. Whatever the hell your name is. I’m not afraid of you. Okay? Not anymore. I know you’re not real. You are just a hallucination. Bonnie. Talk to Robinson. I should face my fears and that’s exactly what I’m gonna do and I’m gonna show you who’s boss.

You ready buddy? Bonnie. Bonnie. Bonnie. This is Clarence. The Christmas clown. What? Yes, he’s, he’s here as entertainment for the pediatric.

You real? Uh, stay away from me. You freak.

Okay. Mm-hmm. , I think I need a few more sessions. Yes.

Zander. Is this because I said that you owed me? Yes, exactly.

You don’t need to repay me this way, huh? Well, I’m not that person anymore. Sandra. I would never ask you to be unfaithful to your wife, Gwen. No, no, I, that’s not what I’ve, I’m not suggesting that we have sex. Oh. What’s all this business then with the lingerie? This is the gift I give Sarah for Christmas.

And you’re showing me because, because. It’s my understanding that Thomas Damara overheard you on the phone and I You said that I owe you one? Yes. And then I gave him a cover story saying that I helped you pick out a Christmas present for Sarah. Oh my God. The little snitch he told her, didn’t he? Yes, he did.

And so now Sarah thinks that I asked you, my ex, the one who drugged her to help me pick out some sexy lingerie for her. So she brings it up. This is what you chose? Well, I’ve got much better taste than that thing. Okay. Right. Not the point. I got it. We are on the same page. Yes. Yes. Just one request though.

Go on.

Well now I’ve been made a fool with my. Certain assumption. Can we just forget the part where I thought that you wanted to have sex with me?

So how do Christmas mornings work around here? When do we open the gifts? About an hour after we throw you out on your sugar plum as, oh Victor, you’re such a cut up Henderson. I need you to escort this deranged woodland critter out of my house. You can’t do that. I’m an invited guest. Invited by whom? By me.

I wasn’t expecting you until tonight. Should I leave? No. ? No. This is exactly what I needed. Well, good. I just thought you might be lonely this morning since your family was out of town. Have you talked to him? Yes. Right before he came. How’s trip? Ah, he’s still pretty upset about his mom. He wanted to stay nearby, but as my dad pointed out, it would be a couple days before Eva could even have visitors at Bayview.

So I think it was good that he went to be with my parents and Joey. Yeah. Well, I saw Pauline’s statement about stepping down as governor. Thought for sure. You’d end up going to Seattle. Yeah, wouldn’t have worked out time-wise. I have been so busy with the fallout from her resignation. Besides, I’m looking forward to spending Christmas dinner with you and your.

Yeah. Well, you might end up rethinking that idea by the end of the night. , why is that? Uh, just between Bonnie’s hallucinations and Sunny’s new house guest places a little bit more nutty, even more than usual. I’m sorry. Uncle Vic, I was gonna tell you last night, but you already sleep. By the time I got home and this morning, I had to help Ari get ready in time for Gabby to pick her up, cut to the.

Why God’s name? Would you invite us into our house? Holly Kesser. What? It’s, it’s a, a Greek golan who murders from the ground each Christmas. And I, I told him he could stay with us temporarily because he was about to be evicted, which is my problem because come Uncle Vic, I, I couldn’t let him sleep out in the cold on Christmas Eve.

Fine. You gave him a warm bed. Now it’s time for him to scamper back to Ville. But I told him he could stay with us for the holidays. Absolutely. Get him outta here right now, or should I call the police and have them do it?

Merry Christmas boss. Ooh, just what I’ve always wanted. A crime scene analysis. Yes. Want me to stick around and go over it? . Nah, your shifts over. You don’t have to stay. Oh, but I do. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have an excuse to turn down Kate’s invitation into a very Brady Christmas lunch. I mean, it was kind of hard to invite me, but with Eric being there, it’ll just be awkward as hell.

Yeah, I could understand that. Okay, fine. You can stay in work, but don’t say, I never did anything nice for you. All right. Well, just to be clear, you are paying me double overtime for. I don’t work for free, you know? Geez. You try and do someone a favor and I’ll return the favor by helping you crack the case of the kidnapping clown.

Well, I’m sure that Sarah wasn’t too pleased that I supposedly picked out a sexy 90 poor. It was definitely awkward, but preferable to telling you the truth, obviously. I mean, she finds out then I was that kidnapping clown. She’ll never forgive. . Well, don’t worry, I’ll never say anything. Oh, what about Leo?

He won’t either. As you know, I trust Mattie. Besides, I think he enjoyed wearing that muscle suit and having a little wrestle with you. A bit too much

Right. Well, I best be off. Thanks again, Gwen, for everything. Anytime.

Oh, sorry. Am I interrupting?

I can’t believe I almost punched him and innocent clown. Well, you didn’t, uh, and like you said, it was just, , you facing your fears? Oh yeah. My fears of a kindhearted volunteer who is about to entertain sick children. Sure, yeah. Yeah. I think my therapy isn’t gonna be a quick fix after all. Maybe not, but it is important to stick with it.

I dunno. I, it just,

I’m tired of being scared all the time, you know, knowing that the. Still out there. Oh my. I’m so sorry that you’re having such a tough time with this. I’m just glad Sandra was there when that C clown came after me again. I mean, he was brave, heroic, and God, it just makes me feel so bad that I accused him of being the kidnapper You did.

Yeah, I was sure of it and I was so mean to him about it.

Bye, Bonnie. Why? Why did you accuse him? Why did you think that Xander was your kidnapper?

I can come back another time. She’s not interrupting anything. Uh, Gwen just stopped by because she. She was dropping off my scarf. I, I stupidly left it at the Hortons last night and she was kind enough to drop it by somewhere. What you doing here? Well, I stopped by the police department this morning to ask Ray if he had any new information about who may have kidnapped you and Bonnie and what did he say?

Nothing to report yet. Ava is still in no condition to be questioned and they are awaiting a forensic report from the warehouse. Ah, it’s too bad. But thanks for the update. I want you to have this Christmas gift, Tina. A thank you. If you hadn’t come to Bonnie’s rescue, I don’t know what could have happened.

What this? I drop some papers. I am going to help you sue the pants off rednecks.

Andrew didn’t tell you how I flipped out on him. No, not a word. Now see, that just proves what a good guy he is. He probably didn’t wanna embarrass me because I totally made a fool of myself. Uh, well, what happened the night we were both kidnapped? I ran into Xander beforehand in the park and. I overheard him say the exact same words the clown said when he held Susan in the hostage.

What did he say? He said, I will not let this situation destroy my life.

That is, that’s odd. Why? Why would Alexander be saying that? And to whom? Well, he never got the chance to explain, because then he said, dammit, would you keep your voice down? And that’s another thing that the clown. That is a very strange coincidence. Yes. And then I explained to him that the clown texted Justin and Maggie and told them that I was gonna go visit my daughter, Mimi, which indicated that the clown was someone who knew me like Zander.

And then to top it all off, your husband’s very muy like the clown. I don’t know. It all seemed. Well, it all seemed to fit together. You know what I mean?

I’m glad Bonnie’s getting help. I, um, I once suffered from P T S D too, one of the worst times in my life.

If you don’t mind me asking what.

EJ Damara had me kidnapped. What? Why? When I was dating Philip, I, um, I got caught in the middle of the feud between your family and the Damaris.

Wow. Yeah. I, um, I was held in a drawer at the. You serious, you in a morgue? Yeah. It was me and a whole lot of corpses. Stephanie, I’m sorry I, I knew EJ was a ruthless bastard, but yeah, that’s definitely goes under the heading of cruel and unusual punishment. Wasn’t EJ responsible for trips kidnapping? We can’t prove it, but yes.

Why does it seem like Chad’s big brother is just making it a habit of messing with your family? You don’t even know the half of it

anyway. Back to the craziness at your place. Yeah. , you um, you said that Sonny has a guest. Yeah, he’s got a guest. Get this. He asked Leo Stark to stay with. Seriously. Seriously. After everything Leo’s done to him, after everything he has done, baby bro is a big softie. Kinda the opposite of your Uncle Vic, huh?

Exactly the opposite. Speaking of the old man, when he finds out that Leo is staying with us, plays is gonna be a war zone. Mm-hmm. ? Yeah. Have you completely lost your senses, man? Blackmailed you into marriage? Almost destroyed our company with fraudulent lawsuit. I am well aware of his past. His past. It was just last year that he drugged you, so compromising pictures of you and then sold them to the tabloids for which I have apologized to Sonny profusely and repeatedly I have in fact Groveled because I feel so terribly guilty about it, especially in light of how wonderfully kind and forgiving son has been.

This is exactly what I don’t understand. Why in God’s name would you forgive this? I forgave him. Uncle Vic, just like many people have forgiven you over the years for your many transgressions because he’s genuinely sorry, and he has expressed a profound interest in becoming a better human being. And, you know, seeing as so many people have forgiven you, I’m a little surprised your show shocked.

I’m giving Leo a second chance that we’re, we’re starting over in fact. I would call his friends.

That is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. Get rid of him now, or You’re fired.

You’re gonna fire me for giving my friend a place to stay. We keep calling him your friend, which confirms that your judgment is seriously. Until you come to your senses, I’ll just replace you with your brother, Alex son. I’m gonna leave. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You cannot keep holding this job over my head, uncle Vic.

Especially since you’re the one who begged me to take it in the first place. And now whenever I do something you don’t like, you threaten to fire me. You know what? Screw that. I beg your part. No, no. I’m not gonna be pushed around by you or anyone else anymore. I’m not gonna stand. Well, you can take your righteous indignation and shove it.

You’re still out on your ass. Fine. You know what? Fire me. I don’t care. You know what? Here, call Alex. Tell him he has the job. I’d rather keep my integrity. I’d rather help a friend in need than bow down your ridiculous demands.

Right? Hot chocolate is ready. Oh, perfect timing. I just finished the tree. Ready? Yeah.

I love it. . It finally feels like Christmas. Good.

What’s that? Uh, that is your gift. I was going to give it to you tonight, but I figured it might come in handy right now. Well, I never say no to open gifts early. Well done right this way. You made the nice list. . Oh, good.

Wow. Mm-hmm. . Oh,

a video game system. Mm-hmm. , you told. That you loved playing video games all the time with your brothers back in Seattle, and that you were looking forward to having a tournament with them when you were home for the holidays. Since you couldn’t get back there, I figured maybe you and I could have our own little tournament.

And I do realize this is not the most romantic gift everybody, are you kidding me? This is the most thoughtful and therefore romantic gifts anyone has ever given me. Thank you, Alex.

This is very kind of you, Justin, but yeah, we talked about this. I don’t really want to pursue legal action. You are wrongfully terminated for refusing to do something illegal for your boss. We can’t let this company get away with it, but I don’t have the money to pay you. It’s pro bono after what you did for Bonny.

It’s the least I can do, and with any luck, you’ll end up with a huge settlement and all of your financial problems will just disappear. But as he said, she said, I’ve worked with Les. All I need is the name of your boss. I’ve left that blank for now, but I will need her full name before I can file the suit.

Just to know I, I don’t wanna do this. Why not? Bender? Is there something you’re not telling me? Justin? Stop. Okay. I will tell you everything.

Uh, what did Sanders say when you accused him? Well, he vehemently denied it and then Justin called and I was about to tell Justin my theory when I got knocked out from behind by the clown, I didn’t see him. Oh right. Cuz it was from behind. Exactly. Mm-hmm. . So the next thing I know I come to in the warehouse and Xander and I are both tied to chairs and I thought he was pretending to be a prisoner.

Then the clown came in and that’s when I knew Sandra was telling the truth. Obviously it couldn’t have been him.

There’s not much to go on here. No dna n no fingerprints. Not even those are the victims. Nope. You know, it seems like after Xander and Bonnie. Our clown went back to the place and cleaned up before our guys got there. Oh, gimme a second here. Oh, looks like you might have missed something. According to this, forensics found a torn piece of flesh colored polyester fiber, and it didn’t match anything that Xander or Bonnie were wearing.

No, Bonnie said the clown was wearing a blue suit again, that some flash color. How’s strange?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I tough pla loser. Oh my God. No, seriously, I would’ve never bought you this thing if I knew you were gonna turn it to a pure monster. Sorry, not sorry. I’m just really. And you also have an unfair advantage given your background. Okay. Except when I was driving in real life, I didn’t throw bananas out the window to sabotage the other drivers.

Oh yeah. Well, I wouldn’t put it past you. Okay. Poor sport. Mm. How about we try a different game? You’re on. Let’s go. Hmm.

Fine. Keep the damn job. Oh. Really, why would I say it if I didn’t mean it? You were just saying like 10 seconds ago that you were gonna fire me, Sonny, gift horse in the mouth. Much. It was at a point I changed my mind cause I’m a heart of gold. Made my decision, which is probably a foolish one. Just accept it.

Okay. Okay. Accept. And that means that Leo can stay right as long as you put him in a room. Far, far away from me then, Maggie? Yes. Thank you. Any room is fine. So long as it has an en suite bathroom. We’re not, I suppose I could walk down the hall to take a shower. And Victor, you have my word. I will never again hurt Sonny.

I. I dunno how you expect people to take you seriously when you’re sitting there and baby me. Jam jams.

Don’t make something funny. What does your husband think of your little sleepover party? I haven’t told him yet. I suspected as much Will decided to stay in LA and work instead of coming home for Christmas so he doesn’t get a sand. Of course not. If he did this creepy, he’d be sitting on a park bench somewhere and you, sonny would’ve a lot of explaining to do.

What do you know about Xander’s situation? I, um, know the name of his boss. It’s Mave Wilson. Oh, how do you know that? Well, I was going to interview. See, I, I was gonna do some press for his company and then when I found out that they were crooked, I just ditched the story. Hmm. Do you have Mave Wilson’s contact info?

I have her email in my research file somewhere. Okay. Um, I have to pick up Bonnie at the hospital. Is it possible for me to come by your place afterwards and get the contact info? Sure. Great. I actually have to go to the hospital as well. Sarah’s enlisted me to play Santa for the kids in pediatrics. Wow.

I’d love to see that and chance, you can gimme a lift over there and maybe I can talk you outta this lawsuit nonsense on the way. Sure. But I’m not gonna change my mind. All right, we’ll just gimme a minute to grab my costume and I’ll, I’ll see you at the car. Yeah. Okay. I’ll see you later. Mm-hmm.

What the, saw that babe? Why he was getting suspicious. Oh, I understand that. But who we gonna get to play Mave Wilson. I’m gonna, I dunno. Get Leo to Don Dre, who maybe give his mate Jackie Mave Wilson actually exists. She’s a girl. I went to school with a real proper bitch. How is that relevant? It’s not. But guess what?

We’re gonna send Justin on a wild goose chase and you’re never gonna be found out.

Is it possible the fabric is from the clown mask? Hard to say. Look, all we know for sure is that Susan Banks bought the mask in the square and it was made of latex. Interesting. Is there anything else? Yeah. Forensics also found pieces of batting polyfill. It’s sort of like the filling use for stuffed animals and pillows.

Yeah. Right. Huh? Could it have been made at the factory or the warehouse? Possibly. My gut’s telling me that this ties back to the kidnapper. I’m just not sure how.

Hi, Gabby. Yes, I am leaving work soon. I promise I won’t be late. Okay, bye. All right. I gotta pack it in soon. Can’t be late for Christmas lunch. Then you should go. I can stick around and keep working on the file. You know what? I’ve actually got a better idea. Why don’t you come with me, uh, to your lunch? I, I don’t wanna impose No, no, no, no.

You would not be imposing. It’s, uh, you know, it’s just Gabby and her fiance and my niece. It’s all very casual. You sure? Yes, I am sure. You know what? In fact, you will be doing me a favor because this way I won’t be the odd man out. Okay. Uh, but before we go, I’d like to stop somewhere first and I’d like you to come with me.

Okay. , are you sure you don’t wanna stick around for the party? Oh, and risk another run in with Clarence to Christmas clown. Hi. Not ho, ho, ho, ho. Sander, you are so fetching as Santa Claus. Oh, thank you. Kind love. Thank you. Good luck with the kids Zander. And uh, I’ll get back to you regarding, uh, what we discussed.

If you must have fun.

What was that all about? Oh, ju Justin was, uh, he’s, he’s just helping with something I’ll explain later. Okay. So are you ready to jingle ve rock? Mrs. Claus? It’s, uh, Dexon halls.

I mean, talk about going above and beyond here, have another muffin. Not only did you stick up for me, you were willing to lose your job rather than have your uncle throw me out. Well, it was as much for me as it was for you. Stick of that guy pushing me around. Well, it was totally impressive. A real Julia Sugar Baker moment, only Hunter.

Okay, thank you. And since you did such a nice thing for me, maybe now is a good time for me to give you your little gifty. Leo, you’re broke. You shouldn’t have gotten me anything. Of course I should have. And they gave me 20% off, so it didn’t even send me back that much. It’s just a small token of my appreciation for living me Crash here.

Gay is Christmas morning. Mm-hmm. . I saw it in the store window. I immediately thought of you,

Thank you Leo. I love it.

Alright. Alright. Okay. Alright. Knocks. Nope. Nope. Okay. Okay. I beat you again. Did you neglect to tell me that you were a professional dancer? Me, of course not. Oh, I think you did. You were you, you were the backup dancer for Katy Perry, weren’t you? That was you. That was, you tell the truth right now. You were the left shark at the Super Bowl halftime show.

That was you. No, but I was a cheerleader in high school. Oh, that’s it. Nope, I’m out. Nope. Not playing the game anymore with you. Not only. Very, very sore winner. But you have a whole lot of secret advantages. And I’m just, come on. I’m sure you’re good at something. I do have some kind of talent. Yes. Like one or two.

Like what? Like, um, like this.

Let’s get you some down.

You know my dad always talked about this party. Oh yeah. One of his favorite memories from working here. Ah, such a good tradition. It is. Thank you for coming with me. Yeah. All right. Listen up, kids. My lovely messes has a story for you that I’m sure you’re going to enjoy. So take it away, Dr. Mrs. Claus

Okay. When it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be. The first census took place while Cornus was governing Syria, so all went to be registered everyone to his own city. Joseph also went up from Galilee out of the city of Nazareth into Judea to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem because he was of the house and lineage of David to be registered with Mary, his Betroth wife, who’s with child, and so it.

That while they were there, the days were accomplished, that she should be delivered and she brought forth her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger cuz there was no room for them in the end.

See, I know you were good at something. I mean, I guess I’m not a total loser. , you’re definitely a champion. Kisser. Can I get a victory lap?

What’s wrong? I was just thinking maybe we should move this to my bedroom.

You know, I’m surprised a man as vain as Xander would willingly cover up his muscles with all that padding

That’s it. What’s it? Flash colored filling the padding. The kidnapper was wearing a bodysuit under his clothes. Good. Why? Good question.

You are. Thanks MA’s. Email is in there along with all my research regarding the company. Thank you, Gwen. I know Xander’s a little hesitant to pursue this case, but it’s the right thing to do. Huh? That’s funny. What is Ben next? It’s Zander backwards. What a coincidence.

It was really sweet of you to get me this sale. Like I said, it’s not a big deal. It’s the least I could do. Well, I cannot wait to wear it. Why don’t you try it home like right now, it is Christmas morning. You are gay. What better time besides if it doesn’t fit? I wanna return it. Make sure I can get you the right size, okay?

Why not?

Holy nutcrackers. Excuse me. What Barry? Chris,

I’m, I’m sorry, what? What the hell is going on here?

Hey, hey, Mr. K. What’s happening, dude? I dunno who you think you’re nobody. And I mean, nobody talks to me and left on the voices. That’s very clear. He tried to do something to my family. That was a fatal mistake on his part. I’m going to destroy him. I would like to drink a toast to the health and happiness.

That’s a woman that I love.

You ready to be best man? Yeah. Hi Victor. Thank you. Carly, Vivian, Katherine, Nicole, Vivian. This is Vivian. Maggie, it’s not so fast. I have something to say. You can object to your own wedding. Says who? Bastar murderer. You live to make me miserable. It’s what you richly deserve. I’ve let you get away with a lot.

Paint me because I don’t listen to most of what you say. Sarah Lumi. She finally admitted. Oh, good God, Peggy, I love you, but I am not putting that ridiculous hat on my head. I got ordained in prison last year. You couldn’t take up macrame. I have so much to offer. Offer it to somebody else. Don’t let the doorknob pitch you in the ass on the way out.

Like fish in the barrel. I hope you believe me when I say the boy I really care about is your happiness. Most of you. That is, I took the liberty of letting myself in, Victor, my friend. I heard about your debilitating stroke and I heard about your debilitating coma . I could also give you a lovely piece of ye, oh my god, my eyes.

I need a drink. Anybody order a hooker

in an old age as a way of softening you, and at the end of the day, it’s family that counts. Go Victor. There’s no man that I consider a better friend to me than you’ve been. In my heart, you’re my best. Oh, Victor, I love you so much. Nothing else matters. Most people think of me as a man who’s rich and powerful.

You saw me as a man who was humbled by the fact that an amazing woman like you loves me. You inspire me to be a better man. I have loved you and looked up to you my entire life. I know I can’t change overnight, but I’m gonna. I’m gonna try and be a better father. The risk of contradicting you. I think you do.

Okay. I love you, grandpa. I love you too. You know there isn’t anything I wouldn’t do to keep you happy and safe. Respect. He’s just gone. You’ll always be a part of my family. We love you. I love you very much. Thank you.

It’s wonderful to be home, which is exactly where I’m going. You know, we’re lucky.

Damn lucky. Yeah. I love you. Love of you too. You are still the man.

[ Heavy rain, thunder clapping]

Steffy: Oh, I love this rain.

Finn: Yeah. So, it’s official, we have the house to ourselves tonight?

Steffy: Yes, we do. Kelly’s with liam, hayes is spending the night with grandma li.

Liam: Perfect.

[Chuckles] I mean, not that I don’t love being with our kids.

Steffy: Our kids are amazing. But you’re right, this is– this is nice.

[ Thunder clapping]

Finn: Oh.

Steffy: Oh.

[ Engine starts ]

[ Engine revving ]

[ Thunder clapping ]

Ridge: All right. Thank you all for coming on this stormy night.

Brooke: Will steffy be here?

Ridge: No, she doesn’t have to go through any more of this. Dad, steffy, and I, we talked about it and we all agreed on what needs to be done. All right. Good. You’re here.

Thomas: Yeah. Well, I was summoned.

Ridge: You created a problem, thomas. We’re here to fix it.

Finn: What do you wanna do for food? We have some christmas leftovers or I could cook something.

Steffy: No, I don’t wanna be away from you for too long.

Finn: Hmm. Sounds like a plan, but plans are flexible. They can change.

Steffy: I don’t wanna change anything about this night.

Finn: Okay. But there’s a pretty important meeting happening at forrester.

Steffy: I’ve said all I have to, to my brother. It’s time for him to learn about his future at forrester.

[ Thunder clapping ]

Thomas: You know, before I get the lecture I deserve I’d like to say a few words, if that’s all right. If you can actually believe it I’m glad you’re all here. Means I can tell you all at once just how badly I screwed up. I don’t know what I was thinking, calling cps on myself. Actually, that’s it. I wasn’t thinking. I was filled with emotion. I mean, brooke threatened to call cps on me. And I– I just, I got so angry with that. And I said, “you know what? Let’s call cps and they’ll show up and see how great of a father I’m being and how irrational that is.” But I also wanted my parents together, and brooke, that meant getting you outta the way and lying to make that happen. And for that, I am so sorry.

Steffy: I am convinced that if thomas just left things alone, my parents would be married right now. Of course, he just ruins everything. And it just proves that he is the same manipulator he’s always been.

Finn: I’m sorry he disappointed you, but I am so proud of you. Hey, it would’ve been easy to let ridge and taylor get married, but you told the truth.

Steffy: I couldn’t let my mom and dad start building a future based on a foundation of a lie. My dad deserved to know that brooke didn’t betray him.

Finn: Have you checked in on your mom?

Steffy: Yeah. She’s okay, considering. I was wondering how this was all gonna hit her, but she seems empowered, her and brooke.

Finn: I mean, I still can’t believe they both walked away from ridge.

Steffy: I know. Feels like closure is in the air. The mom, dad, brooke cycle, thomas’s future will be decided. Now, there’s only one unsettling loose end left.

[ Thunder claps ]

[ Rain splattering ]

Thomas: I don’t know what switch flipped. It made me think framing brooke was a good idea. I mean, obviously I need more years of therapy and I thought these kind of stunts were behind me.

Ridge: We all thought that.

Hope: That’s why this is so shocking and hurtful.

Thomas: I made a terrible mistake and I backslid on my progress. But I think you’ve all seen the progress I’ve been making over the last couple of years, and I’m taking more steps forward than I am steps back. So give me the opportunity and I will take it to show you that I’m becoming a better man and I’m still an integral part of the forrester design team.

Eric: All right. Stop. Stop right there. You’re getting ahead of yourself here, thomas, presuming that you still have a– a place here.

Thomas: What do you mean?

Eric: Do you have any idea how disappointed I am in you? I trusted you. I– I believed in you and I invited you into my home, into my house to give you the opportunity to strengthen your relationship with your– your boy. And then you do this to ridge and to brooke. I can’t even look at you.

Thomas: Don’t say that grandpa. I can still make amends.

Eric: No, you can’T. You can’T. The person that you should beg forgiveness of is brooke.

Brooke: I know how you feel about me, thomas. You’ve made it abundantly clear. Sure, you can say I’m sorry in front of everybody in this room, but I know how you really feel. When I found out the truth about the cps call, you showed me no remorse whatsoever. And you made sure that I knew that you would do whatever it takes to keep ridge out of my life. I didn’t want it this way. I just didn’t wanna see the stress and the strain on ridge’s face. So I tried, I tried to have some kind of relationship with you to show you some kind of love, support. And this is what I get. This is what you throw back in my face, sabotaging our love. You don’t care about our feelings and our marriage. You have no respect.

Thomas: You’re right. I didn’t respect your marriage, but I’m sorry about lying and hurting your feelings. I really am.

Brooke: I’m sorry? How many times are you gonna say, I’m sorry? You said I’m sorry to your son. You said I’m sorry to hope. You said I’m sorry to me. Are we gonna continue believing you forever, thomas?

Thomas: I wanted my family back together.

Brooke: [Sighs] Well, you can’t justify this. There are no more excuses. This is the end of the road.

[ Music playing ]

[ Rain splattering ]

Carter: You know, I liked you, thomas. I really did. And as ridge’s best friend and ceo of this company, I was always rooting for you to make a comeback after every time you messed up. I thought it would stick this time. I really did. You were doing so great. Your designs were fire, had a great working relationship with hope and zende. And your father was so proud of the way you turned your life around. The man, the father you were becoming. How can you do this? You devastated this man. Is there anything else you should tell us? Any other lapse in judgment that might blow back on hope or hope for the future?

Thomas: Carter, do you understand how much work I put into this line? Why would I do something to jeopardize that, a line that I’m working on? And you know how much I care for hope. I mean, why would I do something to hurt her or my son? I mean, hope you– you believe that, right?

Hope: I did. I believed everything you said about learning from your past, making an effort to move forward. How we could co-parent together, work together. Hey, even be friends despite our history. But after all this.. I should’ve– I should’ve listened to all the warnings. You have hurt douglas. You continue to just think about yourself. You didn’t even think about how traumatizing this might be for your son.

Thomas: I wasn’t thinking about anything, hope. And I’m so sorry. Look, I love douglas. He means more to me than anything else in the world. I never wanna hurt him. And you have to give me another chance to be–

Hope: Thank you to be for all your hard work on my line. I do know how many hours you have put into it and all of the hard work that has gone into it, and you were a very important part of the team. But zende is an excellent designer and he has really come into his own. So I think the line will do just fine without you.

Thomas: You don’t actually believe that, hope.

Hope: You used our son to destroy my mother’s happiness. How could I ever trust you again?

[ Heavy rain splattering ]

[ Thunder clapping ]

Steffy: Babe, it looks so nice in here.

Finn: Oh, well, it’s all part of my master plan.

Steffy: Which is?

[ Thunder clapping ]

Steffy: Oof.

Finn: Oh, wow.

Steffy: As if I didn’t already know.

Finn: A serious seduction. We have the whole house to ourselves for an entire night and I intend on using every single room. I need this. I need you.

[ Thunder clapping ]

Sheila: Almost there.

[ Chuckles ]

Thomas: I made a mistake. I got caught up in a dream, a dream of wanting to have my family back together again.

[ Thunder clapping ] And it was so close. All it needed was a nudge and I pushed it right off a cliff. And that’s what I’m saying. I know what I did was wrong. And for that I am so, so sorry. Granddad, you– you opened your home to me and my son and I failed you and my son both. And I’m so sorry. Brooke, as much as you don’t wanna believe it, I– I never wanted to hurt you. I’m sorry, brooke. Hope, I never ever wanted to see that look a disappointment in your eyes again. And I have to see it now every day. I’m so sorry, hope. Dad, I wanted our family back together, but what I did… it wasn’t okay. And you know what? Dad, I can move forward. I can learn from this and I can grow. You just– you have to gimme a chance.

Ridge: What are you asking me right now? To forget what you did or… forgive you? What is it? I stood by you when no one else did. Even blamed myself because I wasn’t there when you were a kid. But I was there when you were a grown man and you played me.

Thomas: That was never my intention, dad.

Ridge: Intention? It’s not about intentions. It’s about your actions, boy. It’s about your actions. Maybe this is who you are. Maybe you can’t change. This is you. You are making me do this for the family, for this company. I’m sorry.

Thomas: Dad, please don’t do this.

Ridge: We all agree, and that includes steffy, your days at forrester creations are over. Goodbye, thomas.

[ Fire crackling ]

Steffy: When you look at your scar, do you think about sheila?

Finn: I did at first, but now I barely notice it. I try to make a conscious effort not to think about sheila unless I’m forced to. Okay? Because tonight’s just about us. And our love.

[ Thunder clapping ]

[ Clanging ]

[ Thunder clapping ]

[ Thunder clapping ]

Steffy: Oh my god, sheila.

Update written by Dustin

At the Port Charles Police Department, Laura and Jordan assess the state of the city after the previous night’s winter storm.  Jordan reports that although the roads are in terrible shape and the city’s sanitation department will be slow at clearing them, she tells Laura that there have been no reports of serious injuries or casualties.  They both agree that is very good news.

At the Quartermaine’s, Austin helps Brook Lynn clean up the mess created by wrapping paper and boxes from everyone opening their gifts. Brook Lynn says Leo loved Austin’s gift, a video game about marine biology. Olivia jokes that she would thank him but they may never see Leo again. Austin thanks Olivia for letting him stay at the Quartermaine mansion, and she says no one should be alone for Christmas.

Ned pulls Olivia aside and asks if she prepped enough food for another guest. She says there is always room for one more guest. Suddenly Cody appears at the front door shivering and tells her the road in front of the Quartermaine estate is closed and a complete mess, so no one will be getting out until the roads are cleared. Olivia asks what his plans are, and he admits he was supposed to go into town for dinner. Olivia insists he stays.

Ned tells Olivia they don’t have enough food. Olivia says she’ll whip up a lasagna and she’ll cheat on the noodles (she makes the mark of the cross). She runs off to the kitchen. Ned tells Cody that Leo will be happy to see him. Austin says “and just like that I’ve been replaced.” Brook Lynn says that wrangler trumps doctor every time. Austin tells Brook Lynn that she must think he is an awful person. She says no and that she knows what it’s like to tell some white lies when you think it’s for the greater good.

TJ and Molly arrive unexpectedly. They explain they were out caroling when they got stranded. Olivia invites them in and says to make themselves comfortable.

At Nina’s, Britt heads out after opening gifts as she has work, the polar bear plunge, and is meeting Brad at the soup kitchen. Liesl walks her daughter out and tells her she will have many more Christmases so she needs to stop killing herself trying to check everything off of her list. Britt says she knows this will not be her last Christmas but how many will she have left where she is able to care for herself. Liesl suggests she live every day like it’s her first (rather than her last), so she doesn’t lose sight of the magic around her.

Back in Nina’s place, Maxie screams “No,” as she picks up her phone.  Nina asks what is wrong.  Maxie replies that her flight to Portland has been canceled and now she will never be able to see Georgie on Christmas.

In Portland, Spinelli brought Georgie to see Ellie for Christmas. She thanks Spinelli as she missed her last year. Spinelli says she’ll always be Georgie’s third parent. He also thanks her for including Maxie as Georgie will be thrilled. Ellie thinks it won’t just be Georgie who is glad to see her. Spinelli says perhaps she can invite this new guy she’s seeing over too. Later, Maxie video calls them and breaks the news that her flight has been canceled until tomorrow. Georgie responds (in typical brat-like Georgie fashion) by rushing from the room. Spinelli excuses her behavior and says that she really does understand that these things happen. 

As soon as Spinelli hangs up the phone, Ellie brings up the fact that she believes that Spinelli has fallen for Maxie again. He says that he did think that having Maxie there in Portland might be a good chance for them to determine if they could be a family again, but then admits that he guesses that it was not meant to be. Ellie tells Spinelli that Christmas is a time for miracles.

Maxie calls Brook Lynn and tells her about the bind she’s in. She hopes one of the planes in the Toronto hangar belongs to ELQ. Brook Lynn tells her she will see what she can do.  Brook Lynn makes a few calls and is able to secure one of the jets; however, she has no way to get Maxie to Toronto. Austin calls Mason and tells him he has been doing his bidding for months without asking for anything, but now he is asking.  He demands that Mason make arrangements to get Maxie from the Port Charles pier to the Toronto airport.

Meanwhile back at the Quartermaine’s, Olivia is stunned when the doorbell rings and she finds a pregnant woman looking like the Virgin Mary standing there. She blurts out, “Holy mother of God!” The woman explains she was part of a live nativity and couldn’t get home because the roads are blocked. She asks if she can stay until a ride-share shows up. Olivia looks at Ned who says, “the more the merrier.”

Back at Nina’s, Maxie gets a call from Brook Lynn telling her the jet is hers, but she must take a boat to Canada. She tells her to go immediately to the pier that arrangements have been made to get her there.

Over at the Quartermaine’s, everyone finishes dinner and Olivia thinks her sauce went over well. Ned notes that it was a very spicy sauce and asks if she thinks that it was a good idea given that they have a pregnant woman as their guest. Olivia says all that spicy food nonsense is just a bunch of old wives tales.  As soon as she gets the words out of her mouth, the woman’s water breaks.

Everyone rushes to help the woman give birth, and Molly points out that T.J. and Austin are doctors. Later, Austin pulls Cody aside and tells him that the baby is breached and it will take a trained OB to deliver the baby successfully.

Sonny finds Sasha working at Brando’s garage. She explains the garage is being sold, and Brando’s 2022 resolution was to finish his bike by 2023. Sonny offers her a hand so that they can get it done quickly and they both can enjoy Christmas dinner.

Britt shows up. She explains her car spun on out the road, and this was the only place she could find open. Sasha says it’s not open, but she is welcome to stay until she can get a ride. Cody calls Britt, Britt actually answers the phone and asks what he wants. He tells her about the woman about to give birth at the Quartermaine’s. Austin takes the phone and tells Britt they need her help, and no car or ambulance can get through the roads. Suddenly, Sasha and Sonny get Brando’s bike to start. Britt looks at it and formulates a plan.

Back at the Quartermaine’s, chaos ensues as everyone wonders what they are going to do if help doesn’t arrive to deliver this baby.  When suddenly the sound of an engine can be heard.  Then like a Christmas miracle, Sasha and Britt step through the patio doors and Britt takes off her helmet ready to get to work delivering the baby. 

Britt helps deliver the baby safely, and the woman decides to name the little girl Britta Noel, in honor of the doctor who helped her in her hour of need.

Eventually, Jordan and the Port Charles EMS arrive.  Jordan says she heard there was an emergency at the Quartermaine’s, but she had no idea that T.J. was there. It was a pleasant surprise because she hadn’t thought she would get to see him today. Jordan explains the roads are still hazardous but traffic is slowly starting to move, so T.J. thinks they should get out of the Quartermaine’s hair. Ned suggests that he is sure the roads are still dangerous and it is probably best for everyone to stay put. He suggests that they should all stay at the mansion and celebrate Christmas together.

Scott gets smacked in the head by a snowball as he approaches Elizabeth’s place.  Then he picks up a snowball himself and hurls it back, a full-on snowball fight begins. Inside, Liz looks at a photo of her family, and then another picture of her with Finn and Violet. Cam asks his mom if everything is okay because she’s been quiet about Finn. Cam assures Elizabeth that she can always talk to him.  Elizabeth tells Cam that she knows she can count on him but she assures him she’s fine. She asks if Joss is stopping by, but he says that she is without a car and the roads are still not in the best of conditions.

Scott comes inside and Cam goes out to take his place in the snowball fight. Scott lets Liz know that both he and Laura are worried about her. She admits that she has never spent a Christmas with her parents since she left California, but that for some reason it feels final now.  Scott says that Elizabeth’s father is a fool and that she will always be a Baldwin.

Laura arrives to check on Elizabeth. They share a hug. Elizabeth realizes that instead of focusing on the parents that were never there she should be thankful for the family that has always been there for her.  Elizabeth, Scott and Laura share a hug. Liesl then arrives and does a little dance with mistletoe over her head, and Scott pulls her in for a kiss. 

At Nina’s place, Sonny finally makes it for Christmas dinner, carrying a wreath. Nina gives him a big kiss and they share a laugh.

Maxie arrives at the Edmonton, Alberta airport, after the plane she had boarded in Toronto was forced to land because of the weather. She’s told by an attendant that with the severity of the storm, there will be no flights departing from Edmonton until at least the next day.

Maxie calls Spinelli and leaves a message asking why he’s not answering his phone. As she hangs up, Spinelli and Georgie appear. He explains they had intended to fly into Canada in hopes of driving to Port Charles but their flight was also grounded. They can’t believe that they all ended up in the same place on Christmas. They open gifts while eating airport pizza.

Back in Portland, Ellie gets a call from the guy she has just begun dating.  It is Griffin Munroe.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Chad visits Abigail’s grave with flowers and wishes her a Merry Christmas.

Gwen sets the table at home, while on the phone with Leo. Gwen talks about Leo getting a spot at the Kiriakis Mansion. Gwen tells him that she has no details to share since she didn’t have to help Xander out of that jam after all. Gwen adds that she made sure to let Xander know that he still owes her one. Chad’s son Thomas then walks in and questions why he owes her one.

Xander is at home, reading The Intruder article about Ava saying her dead son made her do it. Xander remarks that Ava lost the last of her marbles which he calls a Christmas miracle. Sarah comes out of the bathroom and asks what he said about a Christmas miracle. Xander responds that if he told her, it wouldn’t come true. Sarah says that’s a birthday wish. Xander jokes that he was saying it’d be a miracle if they make it to the party at Doug and Julie’s in time given how much preparing she was doing. Xander tells her that she looks lovely and jokes that they can skip the party and go straight to the afterparty. Sarah gives Xander a Christmas present that she says has to be opened tonight. Xander opens it and it’s his personal Christmas ornament with his name on it to add to the Horton Christmas Tree.

Doug is on the phone with Hope at home as Julie walks in with the box of ornaments. Doug wishes Hope a Merry Christmas and hands the phone to Julie. Julie wishes she was here with them now. Julie says she loves her and hangs up. They note that Hope sounds in good spirits. Julie says Hope is devoted to her skating students but wishes she wasn’t long distance. Julie calls this the first Christmas that they won’t have one child or any of their grandchildren with them as Hope is in Montreal while Ciara and Ben are sailing the ocean with little Bo, and Shawn and Belle went to Africa to be with Claire. Julie feels for Eli being away from Lani and comments on he and the twins being so far away in Maryland. Julie wishes she could see them with her own eyes. Eli then appears with the twins, Carver and Jules, and says he thinks that can be arranged. Julie is thrilled and excitedly rushes to hug Eli as he wishes her a Merry Christmas. Julie asks if Doug knew they were coming. Doug responds that he was sworn to secrecy. Julie says she’s so thrilled and she can’t believe they are really here. Julie asks how Eli managed to cross country from Maryland with the twins all by himself. Eli responds that he’s learned to do a lot of things on his own since Lani went away.

Sarah explains to Xander that the ornament is for the Horton tree. Xander thought that was just for family. Sarah responds that he is family since he is her husband. Xander responds that he doesn’t feel worthy of having an ornament on her family’s tree.

Chad talks at Abigail’s grave about how tonight is her family’s big Christmas tree trimming party. Chad mentions that he will bring the kids tomorrow to wish Abigail a Merry Christmas. Chad vows that he will do his best to make Christmas okay for the kids because that’s what she would want. Chad says some people say it gets easier with time, but he misses her more and not less. Chad adds that he will see to it that the kids will have joy on Christmas because they will be surrounded by a lot of people that loved Abigail. Chad tells Abigail that he will love her forever as he leaves the flowers at her grave. Jennifer then arrives and joins Chad, asking where else she would be. Chad thought Jack was picking her up from the airport. Jennifer says that she knew Jack was on grandpa duty so she took a car service. Chad states that Abigail should be there with them as he hugs Jennifer.

Gwen tells Leo that she will call him back and hangs up. Gwen tells Thomas that she didn’t see or hear him come in. Gwen asks if he shouldn’t be upstairs getting ready for the party. Thomas responds that he’s already ready. Gwen suggests he could help Charlotte get ready too. Thomas tells her that Jack is helping her. Thomas asks Gwen again why Xander owes her. Gwen tells him that it’s impolite to eavesdrop. Thomas comments that he wasn’t eavesdropping, she just talks loud. Thomas asks what she did for Xander. Gwen says she just did him a favor. Thomas asks what kind of favor.

Xander tells Sarah that an ornament with his name doesn’t belong in the hallowed family Christmas tree. Sarah understands he’s heard about how her family is filled with saints but says it’s also filled with sinners. Sarah tells Xander that her dad and her uncle Bill’s rivalry over Laura was so bad that it almost turned deadly. Sarah adds that Julie and her mother fell in love with the same ex-con, Doug. Xander is shocked to learn that Doug was an ex-con. Sarah says she won’t even get started on her cousins as that’s a whole other story. Sarah asks if Xander still thinks he’s not worthy. They are interrupted by a knock at the door, so Xander goes to answer the door.

Jack brings Charlotte in to the living room and tells Eli that it’s so good to see him with the twins. Doug declares that now it’s Christmas time. Jack suggests Charlotte take the twins upstairs to show them her playroom. Julie talks about Lucy the babysitter she has hired. Eli and Jack then take the kids upstairs. Julie and Doug agree that it’s wonderful and Christmas now. Eli comes back and says Jack’s in charge now. Julie asks Eli how he’s really coping. Eli admits it’s been tough. Doug is sure Valerie has been a great help. Eli confirms that he doesn’t know how he wouldn’t have done it without his mother and says the twins love her but she’s no substitute for Lani.

Gwen comments on Thomas being persistent. Thomas says he is curious. Gwen asks if he can keep a secret, so he nods. Gwen then claims that she helped Xander pick out Sarah’s Christmas present but he can’t say anything to anyone because Xander wouldn’t want Sarah to know that he needed help and this has to be their little secret. Jack then walks in and asks what they are conspiring about.

Maggie tells Xander and Sarah that she was on her way to Julie’s and figured she would swing by to see if they needed a lift. Xander thanks her and says that’s very thoughtful of her. Maggie feels like she walked in on something. Xander says they are all fine here but Sarah says they are not. Sarah tells Maggie that Xander is being hard on himself and has reservations about putting his ornament on the Horton family Christmas tree. Maggie tells Xander that Victor got his own ornament when they got married. Xander asks if the Hortons were okay with that. Maggie admits they were not exactly at first as some family members were crazy that Mickey’s widow had taken up with a reformed Greek mobster, but they got over it when they realized how much she and Victor loved each other. Maggie encourages that Xander is also reformed and a wonderful husband to Sarah. Maggie adds that he also rescued Bonnie from the sadistic kidnapping clown. Maggie tells Xander to face that he’s one of the good guys now as she calls him a hero.

Julie acknowledges this is the twins’ first Christmas without Lani. Eli comments that it’s not nearly as sad as what Thomas, Charlotte, and Chad are going through. Eli says the good news is that Lani will be eligible for parole in a year, so he can at least reassure his kids that Lani will be home soon while Chad can’t make that promise to his kids.

Jennifer apologizes to Chad for not being here for him more. Chad tells her that she had to take care of herself and she did that, so now she’s back. Jennifer talks about being back and facing the reality of losing Abigail is different without the crutch of getting high on pills. Jennifer feels less self-centered in her grief but more worried about Chad and how he and the kids are doing. Chad responds that they are managing. Chad admits that focusing on other work things has really helped. Jennifer mentions hearing that he’s working at Stephanie’s PR firm and asks how that’s going. Chad says it’s been a lifeline and praises Stephanie as a great boss and friend. Jennifer says it sounds like they’ve gotten close which Chad confirms. Jennifer mentions getting cold so Chad gives her his jacket and suggests they get going to the house where there will be lots of people who can’t wait to see her. Jennifer says that sounds good. Chad hugs her as Jennifer wishes Abigail a Merry Christmas. Chad and Jennifer then walk away together.

Julie tells Eli that she missed him so much. Eli says the kids are always asking about Doug and Julie. Julie is thrilled he’s here with the twins for Christmas and says she can’t imagine anything that would make this day any better. Chad walks in and asks if she’s sure about that as he brings in Jennifer which thrills Julie even more.

Gwen tells Jack that she and Thomas were just bonding. Jack is glad to hear that and suggests they get ready for more family bonding since Eli and the twins just got there. Gwen says she will meet them out there because she has to check on dessert in the kitchen. Jack then takes Thomas and says they’ll see Gwen soon. Gwen mutters that Thomas is a nosy little brat.

Sarah asks Maggie how Bonnie is doing. Maggie says she’s still suffering from the kidnapping and seeing demented clowns everywhere she looks. Sarah hopes Bonnie goes through with seeing a therapist. Maggie says that Bonnie is alive and well thanks to Xander and that they are all very grateful to him for his bravery. Sarah tells Xander that he has a very important appointment to keep with a certain Christmas tree and she intends to make sure he keeps it. Maggie jokes that he can’t argue with her. Xander admits he can’t fight off both of them.

Jack brings Thomas to the living room where he excitedly runs up to hug Jennifer and wishes her a Merry Christmas. Jennifer asks about Charlotte. Jack tells her that she’s upstairs with Jules and Carver and the babysitter Lucy. Jack asks why Jennifer didn’t let him pick her up at the airport. Jennifer looks to Chad and tells Jack that she had to make a quick stop first. Jack tells Jennifer that he missed her so much as they hug. Chad greets Eli and asks how he’s doing. Eli responds that he’s well and asks how Chad is. Chad says he’s just taking each day as it comes. Eli says that’s all he can do and he knows this Christmas will be tough for him and the kids. Chad says it will be for Eli too. Eli is thankful they have each other and that the kids are surrounded by many people who love them. Eli goes to check on the twins. Julie tells Doug that it’s turning out to be a lovely Christmas after all. Jennifer agrees that there’s nothing like being with family for the holidays as she hugs Thomas. Eli comes back with Charlotte, who joins Jennifer, Thomas, and Jack on the couch. Eli says that Jules and Carver went down for a nap as they wish each other a Merry Christmas. Julie mentions having to get the desserts but Jack informs her that Gwen is already doing that. Julie questions that and states that she and Allie are doing the desserts, so she heads to the kitchen. Eli jokes that Julie is on the warpath while Doug jokes that now it’s officially Christmas.

Julie enters the kitchen and questions what Gwen is doing. Gwen explains that British Christmas pudding is a Christmas tradition in the UK and remarks that she surely has room in her iron stomach for more than donuts. Julie argues that her grandmother created the recipe for those donuts and they are a Horton family legacy passed on through generations. Julie adds that Alice also created this home and warns Gwen to show a little respect. Gwen thinks Julie should show her respect since if it wasn’t for her, Jennifer would be spending the holidays in prison.

Sarah, Maggie, and Xander arrive at the Hortons. Sarah jokes that they were starting the party without them. Sarah and Jennifer hug, saying how good it is to see each other. Maggie wishes Jennifer and Jack a Merry Christmas. Jennifer says it’s so good to be home. Eli jokes that he heard Sarah finally made an honest man out of Xander. Eli welcomes Xander to the family and they shake hands. Xander thanks him and says that means a lot. Xander knows Eli and Lani didn’t always have the highest opinion of him. Eli says that changed after Xander helped rescue the twins from Vivian. Xander says he was glad to help and asks how Lani is doing. Eli says she’s counting down the days but she’ll be home soon. Sarah sends their love to her. Eli says he will tell Lani that Xander has changed his life and is making Sarah a very happy lady.

Julie argues that Gwen can’t be telling the truth and that this has to be another manipulation. Gwen assures it’s not and that she can ask Jennifer if she doesn’t believe her, but it might be stressful for Jennifer to have to relive the accident as she guesses it was quite traumatic for Jennifer to get behind the wheel while high and run down her stepdaughter. Gwen remarks that they wouldn’t want to trigger a relapse for her. Julie stops Gwen and questions what’s in it for her and why she’s keeping it a secret. Julie asks if she plans on blackmailing Jennifer or using it as a get out of jail free card. Gwen explains that she and Jennifer will never be friends but she is her father’s wife and she loves her father which is why she isn’t going to say anything. Gwen then asks Julie if there’s room at her Christmas party for her and her pudding. Julie tells her to go ahead but warns that there will never be room on the Horton Christmas tree for an ornament with her name on it. Gwen doesn’t think she will have much say in the matter but Julie argues that she always will, even if she has to send a directive from the great beyond. Julie then exits the kitchen.

Sarah tells Xander that she’s a bit chilly so she’s going upstairs to grab a sweater. Xander tells her to hurry back and kisses her. Sarah exits the room and runs in to Thomas. Sarah tells him that she hopes he’s having a nice Christmas. Thomas says it’s okay but he misses his mom. Sarah says they all do very much. Thomas mentions Chad saying that Abigail is watching over them from Heaven which Sarah assures that she is. Thomas then tells Sarah that he hopes she likes her present from Xander. Sarah says she’s sure she will. Thomas then adds that Aunt Gwen helped him pick it out which Sarah questions. Thomas then remembers it was supposed to be a secret and that Gwen only told him because he heard her on the phone. Sarah asks what he’s talking about. Thomas tells her that he heard Gwen tell somebody that Xander owed her one. Sarah tells Thomas that she will keep his secret.

Gwen enters the living room and greets Maggie. Gwen wishes Jennifer a Merry Christmas and says she’s glad that she is doing better. Gwen goes over to Xander and asks where Sarah is. Sarah then comes back in to the room and wishes Gwen a Merry Christmas. Gwen says the same to her. Julie announces that it’s time to trim the Horton Christmas Tree. Jennifer asks if Doug is going to sing for them this year and insists that he has to. Jennifer gets everyone to chant for Doug to sing. Doug then sings O Come All Ye Faithful and they all join in. Julie hangs her family’s ornaments. Maggie then hangs the ornaments for herself, Victor, and Mickey. Eli hangs the ornaments for himself, Lani, Jules, and Carver. Sarah brings Xander to the tree where they hang their ornaments as Gwen watches on. Jack and Jennifer hang their ornaments. Chad hangs Abigail’s ornament along with Charlotte and Thomas.

After everyone leaves, Doug tells Julie that she outdid herself. Julie says in spite of all the sadness of the year, she thinks tonight’s party was as lovely as it’s ever been. Doug agrees that Julie managed to lift everyone’s spirits with her generous heart. Julie tells Doug that she loves him so much. Doug tells her the same. Julie suggests they head to bed as they have another big day tomorrow. Doug can’t wait to spend Christmas Day with her. Julie tells him the same as they kiss.

Jennifer comes downstairs as Jack is texting Maggie to make sure she got home safe. Jack asks if the kids are all sleeping which Jennifer confirms they are. Jennifer adds that Eli is in bed too, totally exhausted. Jack says traveling with kids will do that. Jennifer asks if Jack wants to go to sleep too. Jack responds that sleep was not what he had in mind. Jennifer questions doing that in a house full of people. Jack jokes that he can be quiet and show her his stealth moves. They get interrupted by Jennifer’s phone ringing. Jack tells her to ignore it but it’s their son JJ, who called to wish them a Merry Christmas.

Gwen returns to the living room and looks at Xander’s ornament on the tree. Gwen remarks that at least someone will have a Merry Christmas..

Xander and Sarah return home and prepare for bed. Xander hopes Sarah had fun tonight. Sarah responds that she did until a certain point. Xander acknowledges that it was sad too with Abigail gone and Lani not being there, but her family was great and made him feel so welcome like he really belonged. Xander then gives her a Christmas present. Sarah questions him wanting her to open it now. Xander points out that it’s after midnight. Sarah then asks if this is the gift that Gwen helped him pick out for her which Xander questions. Sarah explains that’s what Gwen told Thomas as he apparently overheard Gwen telling someone that Xander owed her one. Xander tells Sarah that ran in to Gwen in the town square while he was shopping and she saw that he had no clue what to get her, so she agreed to help him. Sarah remarks that they’ll see what happens when Xander and Gwen put their heads together then. Sarah opens the present and it’s lingerie, which she questions that being what Gwen helped him pick out for her. Xander tries telling her Merry Christmas but Sarah is not pleased.

Chad returns to the living room and stands at the Christmas tree. Chad looks at Abigail’s ornament and says that he made it through his first Christmas Eve without her and he managed to stay strong for the kids. Chad thinks the kids had some fun. Chad says they are so sweet and brave. Chad mentions getting them some gifts from Abigail with things he thinks she may have gotten them. Chad hopes that helped them. Chad hears Abigail’s voice saying she’s sure it did. Chad then imagines Abigail appearing before him as the angel from the top of tree. Abigail tells Chad that she’s always there and that death won’t come between a love like theirs. Chad tells her that he misses her. Abigail encourages Chad to be strong for himself because there is so much left for him to do and so much joy for him to feel. Abigail declares that she will be with him every step of the way as well as with the kids. Abigail tells Chad to look for her in the kids’ faces. Abigail wishes Chad a Merry Christmas as Chad’s vision of her then disappears. Chad looks back at the tree and sees the angel is back in it’s place atop the tree. Chad wishes Abigail a Merry Christmas.

Update written by Dustin

Brook Lynn was thrilled to see Chase at Rice Plaza and he was clearly dressed to perform the duet with Blaze. She went up on the stage and announced that the performance would start soon. She announced the 1st runner up to the Ugly Sweater competition as Detective Dante Falconieri, just as Dante and Sam arrived.  Sam asked Dante if he had known anything about the competition.  He said no and that he was wearing his favorite sweater and thought it looked nice. 

Brook Lynn approached Chase. Chase told her that the CCRB would be revisiting his case in the spring and that he had a sneaking suspicion she had done more than just write the letter. Linc appeared and shouted that Chase and Blaze were supposed to have already performed.  He wanted to know why the event had been delayed. This put an end to Brook Lynn’s conversation with Chase as she was called back to the stage.

Mac and Felicia arrived, and Mac, who was actually wearing an ugly sweater, was angry that he’d missed the judging. Just then, his phone went off, and he said, “Duty calls.” Nina and Sasha were dressed up as Mrs. Claus and an elf, and they greeted Sonny and Donna. Donna handed Nina a gift bag, containing an ornament that she had made.  Nina asked if Sonny had helped her make it.  She admitted that he had helped a little with the glitter. Sasha gave Donna a candy cane and took her to see the reindeer.

Brook Lynn announced the beginning of the performance and Chase and Blaze took the stage. The two performed their new duet, which Blaze said would be dropped that very night. The song got a big round of applause. Mac returned to Felicia and apologetically told her that he had to go. Dante approached and wondered if there had been a break in the case. Mac informed them that the earring that had been found in Rory’s personal belongings had belonged to one of Ryan Chamberlain’s victims from over twenty years ago.  Dante questioned how that could be. Mac said that was what they had to find out.  He requested Dante and Felicia go with him to Spring Ridge.  Dante said goodbye to Sam and the three of them were on their way.

Esme, still locked away in her tower prison, was singing a song about how her father would come to make Nikolas pay (set to the tune of Jingle Bells), when Nikolas arrived upstairs.  Nikolas asked her about her family.  She changed the subject and instead complained about her accommodations.  She said that it was freezing in the north tower, she had to sleep on linens that were half eaten by moths and that she had no one to talk to.  Nikolas, who had clearly been drinking, said that if she wanted to talk he was listening.  Esme remarked that the only reason Nikolas was there was because he had no one else to talk to, because he had driven away everyone else in his life.  Nikolas exited the room and Esme could be heard taunting and laughing at Nikolas.  Later, he returned with fresh linens from downstairs and what appeared to be a book.  Esme flashed a crooked smile, as if she was back to her old scheming self.  But, Nikolas quickly exited the room, locking her away again.

Nina told Sonny she had been thinking a lot about the people who put their lives on the line for the city every day, she specifically mentioned Rory as having brought her thoughts to a place of remembrance. She then mentioned Nathan and Dante. Sonny thought they should light candles for Nathan and for Dante. Nina thought that was a great idea.

Sasha asked Donna what she had requested from Santa for Christmas. Donna said that she had requested Santa to bring Sasha a happy New Year. Sasha said, “your request to Santa was for me?”  Donna replied that it was. Sasha was touched by the depth of Donna’s kindness, and the two then went for cocoa. Donna asked Sasha if they could have extra marshmallows and Sasha agreed.

At Spring Ridge, Mac showed Ryan the earring and demanded information about it. Dante’s patience for Ryan’s games had grown then and he got in Ryan’s face and shouted that a cop was dead and it was time Ryan started talking. Mac ordered Dante to take a walk. When he was gone, Mac said he knew that Ryan and Esme were connected, so Ryan needed to give her up. 

On the side of the road, Josslyn was annoyed that she had no cell service. A car approached and pulled off to assist her and she thanked the person for stopping. When the headlights were out of her eyes, she saw it was Dex. She asked how he knew she was there and Dex replied that he had been following her. Josslyn asked what Sonny would do if he knew they were together.  Dex replied, “What would he do if I left you here on the side of the road?”  Josslyn told Dex that she had finally gotten enough bars to call for a tow truck and that there was no need for him to wait with her, as it was freezing.  Dex gave Josslyn his coat. “If I want you to take your clothes off, you’ll know,” she said.

Dex admitted that he liked how direct Josslyn was, and she assured him that she was fully in touch with all her feelings. He challenged her to be fully honest with how she was feeling at that moment and promised to do the same. The two began a back and forth challenge consisting of single word descriptions of how they were feeling. The interaction got more heated and they grew closer until they passionately kissed. She pulled away as the tow truck arrived. Dex apologized for complicating her life, but she told him he should never apologize for her choices. She walked away from Dex, leaving him standing by the car.

At home, Carly left Josslyn a message to text when she left Trina’s. Just then, the doorbell rang, and Carly was ecstatic to see Avery, who was accompanied by Ava. Ava explained that they were on their way to the Gingerbread Jam, and Avery had wanted to visit. Carly offered to prepare hot cocoa and Ava agreed they had just enough time for Avery to have some before they got underway. Ava said she would wait in her car, but Carly wouldn’t hear of it. She mentioned it being Christmas and insisted Ava come inside. Avery opened a gift of walkie-talkies from Carly, and she ran into another room to test them out. There was an awkward silence between Carly and Ava. Carly asked about Nikolas, and the look on Ava’s face turned cold. Carly mentioned trouble in paradise. Ava said, “ironic, isn’t it?  Right after I scoffed at the troubles in your marriage. Karma is a bitch.”

Ava explained what had happened with Nikolas, and Carly was shocked that he’d cheated on Ava, as she’d thought he was smarter than that. Avery’s voice rang through on the walkie-talkie and Ava responded. She thanked Carly for the gift, and Ava did the same. As Ava and Avery made their way to the door, Carly wished them both a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. She pointedly told Ava she hoped the New Year would be a “fresh start” for them all.

At Rice Plaza, Brook Lynn asked Chase if they could work past their disagreements and Chase said no.  Chase said that she had taken away his agency and “played God” with his life.  

Later, Chase and Blaze returned to the stage and began singing “Silent Night” as snow began to fall.

A short while later, Josslyn arrived home, and Carly was surprised to see Dex. Josslyn explained that Dex was filling in for Steve and that she’d had car trouble so Dex had given her a ride home. Carly thanked Dex for his help. Josslyn asked Carly if she had started the movie yet?  She said that she hadn’t and that she was just about to start the popcorn.  Carly wished Dex a Merry Christmas and he did the same. Carly then went to the kitchen to make the popcorn for their movie night. Josslyn thanked Dex again, and he looked up and saw the mistletoe hanging over the door. Later, Josslyn and Carly watched their movie and ate popcorn as Dex walked outside in the snow, thinking about his kiss with Josslyn earlier.

At Portia and Curtis’ house, Trina was surprised to see Spencer at the door, as she’d thought he was leaving town. He replied that he’d realized he’d been wrong about having nothing left for him there. He told her if she didn’t want him there to just say the word and he would leave.  “Shoes off,” Trina demanded as she invited him in.  Spencer took his shoes off and entered.  After coming into Trina’s living room, he complimented the slight excessive decorations. She admitted that her family had tried to cheer her up, and she’d played along like it had worked, but it hadn’t. Spencer liked it, he said that your first year in a new home you have to “go big.”  All she wanted was to wake up and realize that the past few days had been a nightmare. Spencer said it would be more like a few years for him, except he still would have returned to Port Charles, as he wouldn’t have met Trina otherwise.

Spencer expressed sincere sympathy for Trina’s loss, and he took responsibility for Rory’s death, since he was the one who had brought Esme to town. He vowed to help catch Esme by luring her out of hiding. Trina didn’t want Spencer to be bait, and she threatened to tell Jordan. She admitted that the idea had potential, but that it was missing one thing. Spencer asked what that was.  Trina replied, “me.”  Spencer refused, as it was too dangerous. However, Trina suggested that Esme wouldn’t be able to handle it if Trina and Spencer pretended to turn to each other after Rory’s death. “Are you in?” she asked, and they shook hands in agreement. She walked him out into the snow. She brushed some off his face, he smiled and then walked away into the snow.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

oh, santa’s coming for us santa wasn’t the only hit with leo this year. Could he have you liked your gift anymore? Ah, it was nothing. I don’t know. That look of pure glee on leo’s face — that was not “nothing.” Hey, it was a video game about marine biology. Yeah. So how could I resist?

[ Chuckles ] I would thank you, except I think he might be responsible for us never seeing our son again.

[ Both chuckle ] I think, actually, I should thank you. Hmm. It was very considerate of you to let me stay here last night. I appreciate it. Thank you. No one should be alone on christmas. Especially family. There’s more inside. Thank you. Not to sound, um… what’s the opposite of generous? Uh, selfish. I thought we were having an intimate christmas dinner. The staff is off. Did we prep enough food for a guest? Try that sentence again. Did you prep enough food for a guest? Would you relax? Monica is still under the weather. She made it very clear she’s not coming down for dinner. So we split the christmas goose five ways instead of four. There’s always room for one more. Remember that?

[ Doorbell rings ] We’re not actually having goose, right? Cody. Mama Q. What’s wrong? We got a bit of a situation. Thanks for the loot, ladies, but I have to jet. I’m sorry I missed sonny. Yeah, me too. Called away to work on christmas day. How unfortunate. Really? Are you sure that you can’t stay? No time. I’ve got the polar bear plunge, the soup kitchen, and then a date to see brad sing with the pc gay men’s choir. Well, that is quite a christmas. Places to go, people to see. Well, have a wonderful day, everyone. Merry christmas. Merry christmas. You too. Come here. Ooh. Give me a hug. Merry christmas. Merry christmas. Britta, I’ll walk you out. Bye. You don’t have to do this, you know. Do what? Act like this is your last christmas with us. Huntington’s or not, you still have many more years ahead of you. Oh. I should get going, too. The roads are a mess, and I don’t want to miss my flight. Oh, no, um, wait. I wanted to check in with you. How are you doing? You know, christmas is a tough time to go through a breakup. It was a good thing. Austin and i are not meant to be. Right. But it’s still okay to be sad about it. And I am. But it helps spending the morning with james and bailey and this motley crew.

[ Chuckles ] And now I’m going to portland to see georgie. My christmas just keeps getting better. Do you like your present? I love it. But you coming to visit was all the gift I needed.

[ Giggles ] I want to go try on my present.

[ Giggles ]

[ Sighs ] Oh. Thank you so much for bringing georgie. I can’t tell you how much I missed her last year. Well, you helped raise her. Um, you know, you’ll always be her third parent, even if we are

[Inhales deeply] No longer a we. And, hey, thanks for allowing maxie to join us tonight. It will, uh, really mean a lot to georgie. Oh. Just georgie, huh? Sonny: Anybody here?

[ Door opens ]

[ Sighs ] Sasha, what are you doing here? Ow! Alright, you little animals. Here I come. Hey, mom? Hi. Is everything okay? Yeah, I’m great. Alright. It’s just that you’ve been very quiet about everything that’s happened between you and finn. I just want you to know that you can talk to me about anything. I know. I know, thank you. But I’m fine. I promise. Okay. Is josslyn stopping by? Uh, no. Her car is still busted from last night. Oh. That’s too bad. Yeah. It’s probably for the best, though. The shape the roads are in, nobody should be behind the wheel today. Sorry to pull you away from your family. Oh, comes with the territory. But nobody knows that better than you, right? It was so bad out there. I had to walk here. Ugh. Last night’s storm was intense. Snow was completely covering sections of harbor view drive. Add that to the ice damage to all the other roads surrounding the city. Yeah. It’s just a disaster. And on christmas. Yeah. So many people are going to have an unhappy holiday because of this. Wait, maxie. You have one more.

[ Cellphone rings ] Here you go. Okay. No. What is it? I cannot believe this is happening. Maxie, what is happening? My flight was canceled. I’m not going to get to see georgie on christmas.

What’s going on? Um, I don’t know if you heard. But, uh… harborview is totally blocked off because of the storm? Yeah. Uh, no one’s getting out your main gate unless they’re planning on walking. Well, I mean, luckily, everyone here is planning on staying here, at least for the foreseeable future, so. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up. Thank you. Cody. Wh– what are your plans for the day? Well, I was gonna hit up beradino’s for their holiday menu, but [Chuckles] That’s obviously shot. Um, no big deal. You know, I’ll scrounge something out of the fridge. You will do no such thing. I won’t? No. You’re staying right here. We’ll figure out something with the food. Lo– I — I really don’t want to impose. You’re not imposing. It’s no imposition. Right, ned? Back me up, here. The more, the merrier. I know it’s not my last christmas. Good. But how many more will I be able to live life to the fullest? Despite the old adage, it’s unwise to live every day as if it’s your last. Really? Yes, really.

[ Scoffs ] Racing around, desperate to check things off a list.

Nein. Live every day as if it’s your first. So you never lose sight of all the magic and wonder around you. Merry christmas. Frohliche weihnachten,

britta. I’m so sorry you had to come out here on christmas. I thought I disarmed the security system. Apparently not. Sasha, do you come here a lot? No, um… but the garage is being sold soon, and brando’s new year’s resolution for 2022 was to finish his bike by 2023. Time’s almost up. Mm-hmm. I thought that since I used to work at my neighbor’s garage, I could figure it out. But…

[ Chuckles ] Not so much? Not so much. Alright. [ Sighs ] What are you doing? You’re not the only one who can work on engines. No, sonny.

[ Chuckles ] You should be with nina today. Uh, I’m gonna get to that. But I think if we work together, we can — we can do this by dinnertime. Hand me that wrench right there. Right there.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. Austin, brook lynn. This is our newest dinner guest. Please welcome him. Cody will be joining us tonight. Cody, help yourself to a drink. Make yourself comfortable. Liv, I hate to keep harping on this. I know we don’t have enough food. You know what? I’m going to go whip up a lasagna very quickly. It’ll be probably box noodles. But what are you gonna do? Hey, um… I think we’ll survive.

[ Chuckles ] Thank you. Well, leo, for one, will be thrilled to see you, cody. And just like that, I was replaced. Oh, well, horse wrangler trumps doctor. [ Chuckles ] You must be thrilled. I — I know you were never my biggest fan, so I’m guessing you’re over the moon that I messed things up with maxie. You’re trying to beeverything for everyone. Told a white lie or two and things got away from you. It happens to the best of us.

[ Inhales deeply ] Hmm. Why do i get the feeling you’re including yourself in the “us”? Because I am. Yeah, of — of course, I want georgie to spend time with both of her mothers. That is not what I mean, and you know it. An-and I apologize for the whirlwind nature of this visit. I might not even have time to meet that new suitor of yours. Oh, new being the operative word. I mean, we’re hardly official, but you know what’s funny?

[ Tablet rings ] He actually used to live in port charles, whi– hey — hey, georgie, uh, your mom is video calling you. Hey. Merry christmas, mommy. Hey.

[ Giggles ]

Hi, scrumptious. I miss you. I miss you, too. Um, you’re cutting it a little close. I think your flight leaves in a little over an hour. Mom. Please don’t be fashionably late. Georgie, I am so sorry. But my flight got canceled, and I’m not going to be able to make it in until tomorrow. But tomorrow’s not christmas. I know, but I’ll be there before you know it.

[ Sighs ] It’ll be too late. Don’t even bother. Oh, georgie, wait. I’ll talk to her. Please tell her how sorry I am. Oh, she knows. It may not seem that way at the moment, but she knows. Hey. Why the long faces? All the flights from pc international have been grounded. Yeah. I’m not going to

be ableto see georgie for christmas. I needed this. More importantly, she needed this, and I failed her. Ha! Really, aunt liesl? I’m sorry. Did you just scoff at me? And I would do it again. Such a defeatist attitude. That’s not the maxie jones I know. So your flight has been canceled. There are still other options to explore. Mark my words. We are getting you to portland to see your daughter come holle or hochwasser!

[ Chuckles ]

Wow. Uh, those kids, they’re — they’re like, wild animals. Watch it — those animals are my boys. Yeah.

[ Chuckles ] I know, but they — they want me to go sledding with them. Alright, well, why don’t you? Well, because i don’t want to start the new year in traction. Okay. Well, then why don’t I take over? Thank you. Yes. I’ll — I’ll slip you a twenty later. Thank you. Okay. So, uh, which one of those, uh, good-for-nothings are you moping over? I’m sorry? Well, you know, either finn, your father, or perhaps you’re taking a little from column “a,” column “B.” Now, elizabeth, listen. Sit down here. Now, I — I just want you to know that laura and i

[Sighs] We’re both worried about you. I’m fine. I have spent most of my christmases without my parents. Never used to bother me. Now things have changed. So what’s the difference? For the first time, it doesn’t feel like a gap or a pause. This time their absence feels final. Okay, lasagna’s in the oven. I think there should be just enough. Well, let’s hope so, because luigi’s is not open on christmas. Do not even put that out into the universe. This night is going to be nothing like thanksgiving. Okay? You don’t really believe all this universe nonsense, right?

[ Doorbell rings ] God will get you for that. Tj? Molly? Sorry for barging in like this. We were caroling. But harborview is blocked, and there’s no way to drive home. Hmm. Is it okay if we hang here? We’ll totally stay out of your way. Just until the road’s plowed. Inside, now. Thank you so much. Thank you. You’re the best, olivia. Thank you. Hey. Merry christmas. Hi. Merry christmas. Make yourself comfortable in the living room. God’ll get you good. Yes. Okay. That was my business manager. And? And the hangar that we use across the border for crimson, it’s still operational. That’s great. And apparently there are some private jets just hanging out there ready to get used. So… is there any chance you know someone who owns a plane? How is georgie? She’s not happy. Oh, well, that much I gathered.

[ Sighs ] She’s at that tough age where, you know, she’s old enough to know that there are things we can’t control, but still young enough to believe that mommy can move mountains. Well, to be fair, maxie is quite formidable. Certainly is. And speaking of, uh, you did a nice little dodge before, but unfortunately, for you, I know you better than almost anyone. Oh, I consider that fortunate. Not the opposite. You’ve fallen for maxie again, haven’t you? Well, I mean, now is neither the time nor the place. But I — I was hoping that

[Inhales deeply] Us getting together as a family might make things right between us. But, clearly, that’s not in the cards, as it were, so. But it’s not like you to give up so easily. It’s not like I can change the weather in port charles. Maybe not. But christmas is a time for magic and miracles. So what do you say we make some happen for georgie?

[ Cellphone rings ]

[ Indistinct conversations ] Maxie? What’s up? Well, I have a problem, and I’m really hoping you can help me. My flight to portland was canceled. Oh, no. I know how excited you were to see georgie. No, no, no. I can still get there. I — I just need a private plane from the toronto hanger. Please, please, tell me one of those planes has your family’s name on it. Let me see what I can do.

Not much has changed, huh? Still mother to all the misfits. Well, like i said to austin — no one should be alone on christmas. Well, I really appreciate it. Just let me know if i can do anything to help.

[ Doorbell rings ] You know what? You can get the lasagna out of the oven. I’m on it. Okay. What now? Holy mother of god. I’m so sorry to barge in on your holiday. I was just part of a live nativity scene, and my car won’t start. Not that it matters, since all the roads are blocked off anyway. Would it be possible for me to wait here until a rideshare can take me home? Yeah, of cour– of course.

[ Chuckles nervously ] Come in, come in, come in. Uh, th — this must be so stressful for you. You probably have a house full of people waiting for you somewhere.

[ Chuckles ] No one, actually. Um, this is our first. And my husband’s working the plows today, so he’ll be busy until who knows when. So you were planning on spending christmas all alone? Well, technically, I have company. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You are staying right here. You are eating christmas dinner with us. Are you sure? I would not have it any other way. You — you — you go on into the living room, you — you introduce yourself, and make sure you put your feet up. You’re so kind. Thank you. I didn’t know, uh — do you want it in the kitchen or the living room or… mama q, what’s wrong? We’re gonna need a bigger lasagna. Getting there…

[ Sighs ] This would have taken me days without your help. I don’t know about that.

[ Sighs ] Trust me. Think so?

[ Chuckles ]

[ Knock on door ] Britt: Hello! Are you open? Oh. What are you two doing here? A long story. You? Oh. You know, in typical me fashion, I ignored the warnings about the roads. My car spun out a few blocks away. You alright? Yeah.

[ Chuckles ] Only thing bruised is my ego. Well, the shop is closed. But you’re welcome to call aaa, assuming they can get here. Well, that’s assuming a lot.

[ Sighs ] This is not how I wanted to spend my last christmas in port charles. Last? Are you going somewhere? Hey, you alright? Seem a little tense. Yeah, I am. Maxie needs to get to portland. Right. To be with georgie. Yeah, but all of the commercial flights have been grounded, so I’m trying to hook her up with my family’s private jet that flies out of canada. But apparently, there’s, like, a mile long line at the border. Even if she were to brave the roads, it could be hours before she could take off. Right. I mean, if she bothers to use the roads. Oh, something’s going on up there. What is it? Tell maxie to get to the pier as soon as she can, I’ll take care of the rest. Okay. Hello? Hey, mason. Um, listen, cousin, I’ve done everything you’ve asked me to do. I haven’t asked for anything in return, but now I am. Well, I need you to send a boat to the pier in port charles. I need to get somebody I care about to canada without the hassle of border security. Thank you, the mayor and I really appreciate it. Okay, so those needing medical attention have been airlifted to the hospital, but there’s been no reports of serious injuries or fatalities. It’s a christmas miracle. What did they say about the roads? How quickly can they be cleared? The plows are out, but it’s going to be tough. Tough, but not impossible. Okay, let’s get it done. You got it. Thank you. Okay. What is taking her so long? Patience. That is not my strong suit.

[ Cellphone rings ] Oh, thank god. Brook lynn. Please tell me you have good news for me. The jet is all yours. But… but what? You will be taking a boat to canada. A boat? Why? There’s no time for questions. Okay. Just get your booty to the pier. And give georgie a big squeeze from me when you see her. I will, and thank you so much. I — I owe you. Okay, I guess I’m going to the pier. I’ll escort you. Uh, no — I — the pi– you’re gonna take a boat? What? Uh, I’m gonna come with you. Come on. No, no, no, no, no. You — sonny, is coming over, and you two need to spend christmas together, okay? Alright. Well, merry… alright. Merry christmas. …Christmas. Are you ready? Really? I mean, you’re taking a boat? It’s christmas. It’ll be fine. I don’t know. It’ll be fine. It’ll be fine. Alright, merry christmas. Bye. Have faith. Be careful.

[ Indistinct conversations ] That lasagna was amazing. And who is the incredibly pregnant young lady? Just another guest for dinner. Olivia, this — this is getting ridiculous. Uh, it felt a little on the nose to say there’s no room at the inn. It might not be the incredibly intimate christmas that we planned, but it’s the christmas we got. Capisce? Capisce. Look at this. My arrabbiata sauce was obviously a very big hit. You made the lasagna with your arrabbiata sauce? Yeah. I had some leftover in the icebox. That sauce is incredibly spicy, and that is an incredibly pregnant woman. Oh, come on. Ned, even i am telling you, the whole spicy food thing, that is an old wives’… oh, my god! …Tale.

No, no, no. Not now. Not here. Will you go — go get some pillows, blankets and towels. Go! Alright. Uh, I’m gonna call 911. What? To say what? There’s no way they could get here with all the road closures. This is not happening. It’s just not. Okay, d-d-don’t — don’t worry. I’ve given birth twice.

[ Breathing shakily ] I will talk you through this. Yes, I’ve pretended to give birth. Not helping, brook lynn. Okay. Okay. Okay, we got some blankets, pillows. Okay. Alright. Let’s — let’s get you down on the floor. Down, right here. Here we go. You got this. Here we go. Ned: Oh, boy. Here. Here we go. You’re okay. It’s, uh, okay. Okay. Hey, uh, tj is a doctor. He can help deliver the baby. Really? Um, I-I-I-I’ve never done it before, but I can figure it out. Okay. Okay. Is this what I think it is? Okay, great, another doctor. You and you. Teamwork makes dream work. Come on, get moving. Here you go. Do you — you need another pillow?

[ Overlapping speech ] Aah! Hey, elizabeth. Uh, so, I know you’re a little down, but here’s the good news — there’s good news? Yes. You are the most resilient girl that I’ve ever met. You — you — you take the cards that are dealt you. And you never complain. Well, almost never. And look at the — look — look at the home you’ve made here for the kids. I mean, they feel loved and safe. And for that, I respect you. I salute you as well. Thank you for saying that. Well… listen, jeff, you know, he’s a fool not to see what a great daughter he’s got.

[ Sighs ] Even though franco’s gone… you’re still a baldwin. Never forget that. I won’T. Aah! Hey, you’re doing — you’re doing great. You’re gonna be okay. You can do this. You got this. Do you mind — can you watch her for a second? Yeah, of course.Thank you. You got this, sweetheart. You’re okay. You’ll be okay. You got it. Just keep breathing. Just like we talked about. Yeah. I think I’m gonna go get some ice chips. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Good idea. Aah! What’s going on? This is not gonna be easy. Oh, yeah, that’s pretty obvious. But, I mean, you delivered maxie’s baby, right? You can do this. Uh, maxie’s baby wasn’t breech. What? Isn’t that — isn’t that something that she would have known? Not necessarily. Not if the baby’s flipped recently. Look, if we were in a hospital, all kinds of options available there, including an emergency c-section. But here… what this woman needs is a trained ob. I don’t have immediate plans to leave, but I am interviewing for a job in boston. Please don’t tell anyone, okay? Your secret is safe with me.

[ Cellphone rings ] What do you want? Merry christmas to you, too. Look, I know you don’t want to hear from me, but I’m at the quartermaines’ right now and I’m with austin and tj and — congratulations.

[ Sighs ] Okay. Would you just listen? Okay. Virgin mary is giving birth today. Like, right now. Okay. How much eggnog have you had? N– I’m not drunk. Eh, thank you. Britt, hey, it’s me. There’s a woman here. She’s in labor. The baby’s breech. Not my level of expertise. I need you to talk me through this. This woman needs a hospital and a specialist. Well, I agree. But thanks to the weather, that’s just not an option. It’s not a car or an ambulance that will get through these roads.

[ Motorcycle engine revs ] We did it! Didn’t I tell you?

[ Chuckles ]

Britt?

Britt?!

[ Screams ] You’re doing great. Okay, just breathe. Here you go. Deep breaths. In through the nose, out through the mouth. And when you exhale, try to focus on relaxing an area of the body, okay? You want me to relax? Yeah. Easier said than done, right? And I thought thanksgiving was dramatic. Mr. Wattle’s got nothing on this situation. Mr. Who?

[ Screams ] Okay. The baby’s breech? Yep. There’s a pretty substantial chance something’s gonna go really, really wrong. So what do you want from us? What can we do? Well, tj can treat the mother post-birth, but what we need to do is get this baby to the hospital on foot. Is that safe? No, but, I mean, I don’t know what else to do without a trained ob on hand.

[ Tires screeching, crashing ]

[ Screams ] What was that? Aah! It’s okay. Sorry about monica’s begonias, but I heard there’s a baby that needs delivering.

[ Groans ]

[ Screams ] Hi! I didn’t think you were going to make it. Oh, my goodness. It was a very eventful day. But I think things are calming down now.

[ Laughs ] Can I get you something? Do you want some tea? You must be freezing.

[ Laughs ] Uh…I’m okay. Tell me, how are you holding up? Oh, you mean since my not-so-happy reunion with my parents? Yeah, since that. I’m okay. Oh. I want to be okay. You will be. And if you need any support at all, you know I’m right here for you, right? Okay, mom, listen, I know this isn’t how you envisioned this to go down, but you seem to be made of tough stuff. And you have three mds here that are gonna coach you through it, okay? Okay. I’m sorry if I’m hurting you. It’s okay, honey, you just — you just squeeze away. I can take it. Your baby is a little upside down at the moment. Is that dangerous? No, it just means you need to push extra hard when I give the word. Are you ready? I’m ready. [ Screams ] Is another contraction starting? Okay. Here we go. Push!

[ Screams ] Push! Hi. Hi. Um, I need to get to portland. Oregon, not maine. Ma’am, this is edmonton, alberta. I know that. But my daughter is in portland, and I promised her we would be together on christmas. I understand your dilemma but — no, see, I don’t think that you do. First, my flight gets canceled. Then I have to take a super shady boat to a super awesome private plane which has to land because of the weather. Now, I just need to know when I’m getting back in the air. There’s really no way of knowing with the storm. Nobody’s taking off tonight. I’m sorry. Merry christmas. Merry christmas.

[ Baby fussing ]

[ Baby crying ] She’s cr ying. That’s a good sign, right? Britt: It’s a great sign. Meet your little girl.

[ Crying continues ] She’s perfect. Hello, baby. Your first day. So m uch wonderfor you to see. Live every day like it’s your first, right? Have you thought of a name yet? Noelle seems appropriate. All things considered. It certainly does. What’s your name? Britt. It’s short for britta. Britta noelle. Has a nice ring to it. Don’t you think? If you don’t mind, of course. I-I don’t mind at all. Look, in all the commotion, I didn’t get a chance to say thank you for what you did for maxie. Of course. I really want her to be happy, even if she’s not happy with me. Look, I’m not saying I was wrong about you, but you may have some redeeming qualities that I might have overlooked.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. Thanks. I’ll take it.

[ Door closes ] Excuse me. Tj! Mom. Hey. What are you doing here? I was dealing with the roads when I got a call about an incident at the quartermaines’. That incident is you, fyi.

[ Chuckles ] I see that. Now, here I was worried about missing christmas with you, but from the looks of it, you kept quite busy. Did he ever! Tj was incredible. Oh. I think we all earned a gold star today. Dr. Westbourne, in particular. Traffic’s moving out there? Slowly, but yeah. Okay, then, uh, we should probably get out of these guys’ hair. You know, after the day we’ve had, I think it’s only fitting that you all stay and we celebrate together. Are you sure? Positive. Thank you. That sounds wonderful. Awesome. Yay! Aw! Merry christmas. Okay. Okay, girls. So, um, what did you — what did you — what did you think about my dance moves? Oh, well, they were… smooth. Very smooth.

[ Laughs ] No, they were not even present. You guys are secretly just laughing at me. No, I’m enjoying you. Okay. You are a terrific grandpa. Well…

[ Laughs ] Well, you’re no slouch in that department either, there, laura. Thanks. All this time, I have been focusing on the parents who weren’t there for me. And now I realize I should have been focusing on the people who were, the people who have always been by my side, the people I have always needed. I think she’s talking about us. I do, too.

[ Laughs ] I love you, sweetheart. I love you. So much. Spinelli, why are you not answering your phone? Call me. Maximista?

[ Laughs ] Mommy! Georgie?! Oh, my god! What are you doing here?! Well, I knew how much you two wanted to see each other. The plan was to fly through canada and then drive down to port charles. Great minds think alike. What?! And you — you are like the best christmas present ever! Thank you. It was nothing. No, it’s — it’s everything. You’ve always been there for me, spinelli, through all of it. I don’t know what I would do without you. Well, guess what? You’ll never have to find out.

[ Both laugh ]

Still, still, still

[ Cellphone rings ]

One can hear the falling snow

for all is hushed hey, you. Merry christmas.

Is sleeping

holy star, its vigil keeping

[ Knock on door ]

Still, still, still one can hear the falling snow come here, you.

[ Knocking on door ] For you. Thank you.Oh! Sleep, sleep, sleep ’tis the eve of our savior’s birth the night is peaceful all around you close your eyes, let sleep surround you sleep, sleep, sleep ’tis the eve of our savior’s birth okay, and I got her the prettiest bracelet. She picked it out herself. You did? Yeah. We went to the store, and I got to pick it out. What color was it? It was like a silver color, and it had a heart on it. Aw! And it had an “e” for ellie. Aw, that sounds so sweet. Dream, dream, dream what did you get? Yeah, what did you get? A sweater. Of the joyous day to come what’d you get?

General Hospital Updates

Update written by Dustin

At Alexis’ house, Alexis had quite a few of her clan gathered together, including Molly, T.J., Christina, Sam, Dante and Spencer. Spencer seemed slightly removed from the group both in proximity and in his state of mind. At one point, everyone went to replenish their drinks. Alexis took this opportunity to engage with  Spencer who had wandered over to the Christmas tree. Alexis asks him what was going on, because he seemed a million miles away. Spencer assured Alexis that he was having fun. Alexis pointed out that for a Cassadine, Spencer was a terrible liar. Reluctantly, Spencer admitted that he had a lot on his mind.

“Am I destined to be like my father?” Spencer asked. Alexis wanted to know what Nikolas had done, Spencer chose his words with the utmost care as he explained that he had discovered some things about Nikolas that Spencer feared would make him seem “bad by association.” Spencer assured Alexis that he wanted a life outside of his family — including Victor — but Spencer was unable to find a way out. “How do I escape my own family?” Spencer asked. “You can’t,” Alexis answered. “But, you can survive them,” she added.  

“Okay. How?” Spencer asked. Alexis told Spencer that she and her daughters had chartered their own course and had their own lives. Alexis acknowledged that Victor had a special interest in Spencer, and she advised Spencer to exercise extreme caution because of that interest. “Because this band of psychopathic, murdering megalomaniacs are ours. They are our family and always will be,” Alexis said. “So, basically I’m doomed,” Spencer replied. Alexis smiled and urged Spencer to forge his own path. Do the things that made him happy, the things that made him feel alive. Alexis pointed to her daughters as she reminded Spencer that a person’s genetics don’t necessarily dictate their actions. “Find out what makes you feel good,” Alexis said. She encouraged him to figure out what made him happy and to let it be his guide. Alexis promised that there would come a day when he would be able to forget Victor and Nikolas and live his own life free of their influence.

Elsewhere at the party, Sam scolded Dante for checking his phone. Dante confessed that he had was worried about Cody spending Christmas alone. Sam suggested Dante invite Cody to the Gingerbread Jam at Rice Plaza. Dante asked Sam if he had mentioned that she was the greatest yet that day.  She responded by saying “a few times, but it never gets old.” Moments later, Dante received a text message. Sam grew concerned when she noticed his reaction. Dante assured Sam that the Hook hadn’t struck again, but he admitted that he had to leave for a short time to take care of something.

After Dante left, everyone returned to the living room with plates of pie. Spencer explained that he had to leave and he thanked Alexis for the talk.  It had clearly given him a lot to think about.

At Finn’s apartment, Gregory was so glad that he would be spending Christmas with both of his sons and his granddaughter. Chase admitted that he just didn’t feel into Christmas this year and he offered to leave so as not to be a downer on everyone else’s holiday. Gregory and Finn said absolutely not. When Gregory mentioned Chase canceling the performance at Rice Plaza, Chase accused Brook Lynn of putting herself first. Chase confessed that he had no regrets about backing out of the Gingerbread Jam and leaving Brook Lynn to deal with the fallout. Gregory asked Chase if the whole thing was about revenge. Gregory suggested that just because Brook Lynn hadn’t done the right thing didn’t mean that Chase should do the same thing. Gregory reminded Chase that Chase’s badge had been taken away, not Chase’s moral compass, so Gregory encouraged Chase to right a wrong. Before Chase could reply, there was a knock at the door. It was Dante. Dante explained that he had something to tell Chase and he didn’t think it could wait until after Christmas.

Chase stepped into the hallway for privacy. Dante told him that the review board had agreed to take another look at Chase’s case in the spring when the board reconvened. To Chase’s surprise, Dante credited Brook Lynn for the unprecedented decision. Dante told Chase that somehow Brook Lynn had found a way to get her letter to the board.  “Merry Christmas, partner,” Dante said as he departed to return to Alexis’.

Inside, Violet left the room to go to her bedroom. Gregory took an opportunity to tell Finn how proud he was that he hadn’t let the breakup with Elizabeth affect Violet’s holiday. Gregory told Finn that he didn’t mean to pry into his son’s personal relationship, but that he wanted Finn to know how much Violet cared for her Aunt Elizabeth. Finn admitted that Elizabeth would remain a part of Violet’s life but that he believed he had finally learned his lesson. He told his father that he was just not cut out for love and relationships and that he was going to throw himself into his work and give up on love. Gregory pointed out that he had been given Violet as the result of one of those relationships that he had dubbed as a failure.  He asked if Finn would change that. “Not for a minute,” Finn said. Gregory told Finn that he should probably not throw in the towel just yet.

When Chase reentered the apartment, Gregory and Finn asked why Dante had stopped by. “To deliver a Christmas miracle,” Chase said. Shortly after Chase left, and Gregory, Finn, and Violet settled on the sofa with hot chocolate. Finn handed his father a book, and Gregory began to read ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.

At Alexis’ house, Sam opened the front door and happily welcomed Dante back. “There’s no place I’d rather be,” Dante said. On the sofa, Molly and T.J. shared a tender kiss.

At Curtis and Portia’s house, Curtis, Marshall, and Josslyn watched as Portia comforted her daughter. Trina pulled away from her mother and tearfully apologized for ruining everyone’s Christmas, but Josslyn insisted that Trina had nothing to be sorry for. Portia agreed, and she made it clear that she wanted Trina to set the tone for the holiday. Curtis reminded Trina that the holidays were all about family. Trina admitted that she was both sad and scared, but she was also grateful to have her family.

Later, Marshall helped Portia set out snacks. Curtis said that he wanted to celebrate the first Christmas in his new home with Portia. He also pointed out that it was his first Christmas with Marshall in a very long time. Curtis handed gifts to both Portia and Marshall. Portia received a gift card to the Metro Court for a spa day, which she loved. Marshall’s gift was impressed by the music collection that he said was like stepping into a “time machine.”

Trina and Josslyn sat in front of the fireplace as Trina expressed concern about the traffic to Rice Plaza. Josslyn promised to take the back roads. Trina opened up to Josslyn about her feelings surrounding Rory’s death and she admitted that Rory might have ended things with her anyway, but now she would never know.  Trina blamed herself for Rory’s death which Josslyn immediately said was not her fault in any way.  Trina said that if she had not become involved with Rory then he would never have gone to that apartment to try and apprehend the Hook killer.  Josslyn made it clear that the only person responsible for Rory’s death was “the monster who killed him.”

Marshall returned the gift-giving sentiment with Curtis, by giving him a special gift. It was a photograph of Marshall, his wife, Thomas, Curtis, and Stella taken during Curtis’ first Christmas. Marshall explained that the picture had always been a family favorite because Stella was a blur in the photograph because she had not allowed enough delay on the timer to capture the image appropriately. Curtis wished his father a merry Christmas.

At the Quartermaine mansion, Ned, Olivia, Michael, and Willow were seated in the living room as they watched Leo and Wiley each open a gift. Drew and Carly stood nearby. Later, Brook Lynn entered the living room. Brook Lynn was surprised that they had decided to open presents, but Olivia explained that the boys had been given only one gift each to open. 

Meanwhile, Michael and Willow sat on the floor with Wiley and told him that he would be getting a baby sister. “I can’t wait,” Wiley said. 

At the patio doors, Drew and Carly chatted. Carly was very happy to have time to spend with Michael, Willow and Wiley. The conversation turned to Willow when Carly expressed concern about Willow’s pale complexion. Carly worried that the pregnancy was difficult on Willow. Drew agreed, and he admitted that the news that Denise had shared with them didn’t help matters any.

Drew made it clear that he was determined to find Willow’s birth parents. “You are a man on a mission,” Carly said. Carly advised caution before they offer any more theories to Willow and was concerned how coming up empty handed would affect her pregnancy.  Carly, with an obvious agenda, believed they should keep all information to themselves until it could be confirmed.  

In the living room, Michael assured Willow that they would spend many more Christmases together. Willow smiled as Michael wrapped his arms around her and Wiley. A short time later, Carly said her goodbyes to everyone, and Drew walked her out. The minute they were alone on the front steps, Drew pulled Carly into his arms for a kiss. Afterwards, he surprised Carly with a gift. A Jacksonville, Florida keychain.

Carly loved the key chain, and she thanked Drew. However, she was curious about the key attached to it. Drew told her that she would find out soon what the key was all about. He went to kiss her again, but Carly playfully pulled away. “Merry Christmas,” Carly said. Drew smiled as she walked away.

On the way to Rice Plaza, Josslyn jerked the steering wheel of her car as another car blared its horn at her. After rebounding from that, she was blinded by oncoming headlights and she slammed on the brakes.

Young & The Restless Update

Y&R logo

Update written by Barbara

Seated at the Glam Club with Noah, Sharon, Mariah and Tessa on Christmas Eve, Nick tells them that as excited as Christian is about Christmas, it was easy to get him to sleep. He adds that Christian is a cakewalk compared to Noah at that age.

As Tessa and Mariah get tipsy from champagne, Tessa tells the group that she and Mariah don’t have to be concerned about driving home because she booked a suite downstairs in the hotel as a holiday surprise for Mariah. The two of them look forward to getting comfortable in the cozy robes the hotel provides.

Once inside their suite and relaxing in the big bed, Mariah gives Tessa an ornament to celebrate their first Christmas as a married couple. Tessa mentions that continuing to add ornaments could become a tradition and hopefully they can add one for their baby’s first Christmas next year.

When Mariah and Tessa wake up on Christmas Day, they realize they’re running late and rush over to Crimson Lights to help Sharon pack the holiday presents and food boxes that Noah will bring to the shelters.

A pregnant woman comes into the coffeehouse asking for help. She tells Sharon, Mariah and Tessa that she needs a tow and her phone is dead, and asks if they can help her.When Sharon asks what happened, she tells her that she hit a patch of ice and skidded into a pole.  Her name is Sonia and she is very upset, and a little dazed. Tessa calls a tow truck, but she’s unable to find one that would be able to get to Crimson Lights in a timely manner.

After being introduced to Mariah and Tessa, Sonia recognizes Tessa from her music and one of her songs that’s playing in the coffeehouse. When Mariah and Tessa ask Sonia about being with her family on Christmas, she tells them that she was driving away from her parents because she hasn’t been getting along with them. She mentions that she was supposed to finish college in the spring and then go to grad school but adds she doesn’t know how that will happen.

When Sonia anxiously says that she doesn’t know if she can be the mom that her baby deserves, especially with all the people out there who can’t wait to be parents. Mariah looks at Tessa, who tells Sonia that it’s a really big decision, but she’s sure Sonia will make the right decision for her and her baby. Mariah tells Sonia,”it’s your story to write; nobody else’s”.

Sonia’s water breaks, followed by contractions, and she goes into labor in the coffeehouse. Mariah tries unsuccessfully to get an ambulance over there on time because the roads are almost impassable.

Sharon calls Elena, who is close by and can get to Crimson Lights. Elena delivers Sonia’s  baby girl. The EMTs finally arrive and get Sonia and the baby ready to go to the hospital with her baby.

Having told Mariah and Tessa that she felt that the universe brought her together with them, Sonia says she feels like she can do anything now that she’s holding her daughter.

In their hotel room on Christmas Morning, Mariah is sitting up in the bed looking serious and upset. When Tessa wakes up and they talk for a few minutes, they realize they both had the same intense dream.

Mariah worries that this is an omen that they might not get what they want, whereas Tessa remains optimistic and suggests that Mariah look for the good parts of the dream. She tells Mariah that they’ll be “kickass moms”.

Mariah and Tessa come into Crimson Lights to greet Sharon and Noah. Sharon observes that they they don’t seem to be their usual effervescent selves, but Mariah assures her that they’re fine.

Then, she and Tessa get texts from Delphine, the potential birth mother they’re supposed to meet after New Year’s. Delphine has sent a sonogram of her baby girl, with a message that says to Mariah and Tessa, “We can’t wait to meet you”.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

All: Cheers! Merry christmas!

Mariah: Noah, thank you so much for putting this together. It’s a very unique way to spend christmas eve — you know, fun, festive, family nightcap before the chaos of tomorrow morning.

Noah: Yeah, what’s the point of owning a club if you don’t put it to good use every once in a while? And I thank you all for coming. We should make this a tradition, all the grown-ups getting together christmas eve. That would be fun.

Nick: Yeah, we’ll see.

Noah: Okay, what’s that supposed to mean?

[ Laughter ]

Nick: I’m just saying, a lot can happen from now and then. You know, we don’t know where we’re gonna be, what we’re gonna be doing. I say we just enjoy tonight for what it is.

Tessa: Hear, hear!

Sharon: Hear, hear!

Mariah: Hear, hear!

Sharon: I am just so grateful that you put this together, noah. I was feeling a little bit lonely tonight.

Noah: To rey.

Sharon: Yes, to rey.

All: To rey!

Sharon: Thank you. You know, it’s been quiet around the house with faith being away, but I know she is having the time of her life in europe.

Noah: When did she get so old? I feel like just last week faith was this little girl getting lost in the woods, needing to be rescued.

Nick: That’s what happens when you get older. Time moves very quickly.

Mariah: But seriously, when did she get so sophisticated? She’s like a jet-setter now.

Tessa: And by “sophisticated,” you mean more sophisticated than us?

Mariah: Yes. Yes. I would love to be skiing in the alps.

Tessa: Babe, you don’t ski.

Mariah: I would like to be doing something in the alps.

[ Light laughter ]

Sharon: Nick, it’s nice that you have christian. You can get a little bit of that christmas magic at your house.

Mariah: Okay, I have to ask. How tough was it to get him to sleep tonight, on a scale of 1 to 10?

Nick: Christian’s a cakewalk compared to that dude.

Mariah: Wow!

Sharon: Oh, yeah, that is true. Noah, you were the worst.

Nick: The absolute worst. It took forever to get him to go to bed, and then at about 3:30, he’d come knocking on the door.

Tessa: 3:30?!

Nick: Yep. Some years I’d feel like I just got my head on the pillow, and he’d come in screaming and hollering, saying he was ready to open presents.

Mariah: So, how did you get christian to sleep tonight?

Nick: Easy. Christian likes to know things. So, first we just kind of checked out, you know, online what reindeers prefer, oats to carrots.

Mariah: Mm.

Tessa: Carrots, obviously.

Noah: How is that obvious?

Nick: Well, you’ve done your own research. Then we checked out the santa tracker. Christian realized santa was still really far away, and he also knows that santa doesn’t show up until he’s asleep, so he went right to bed.

Mariah: Well, hopefully he doesn’t wake up at 3:30 like his brother used to.

Nick: Oh, man, let’s hope. But as annoying as it was, it was also really fun. You know, it’s the joy of the holiday season. I’m sure sharon can vouch for this, and you guys will all realize it someday, but there’s just nothing like seeing christmas through the eyes of a child.

Mariah: Ahh.

Noah: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay, how about you, uh, slow down there, you two?

Mariah: Excuse me. I’m not driving.

Tessa: Uh, another glass, and we might not be walking.

Noah: Yeah, well, let’s just save some for new year’s eve. I’m gonna run out of champagne with you two hanging around here. You guys need anything?

Nick: Uh, I’m good. Thanks.

Sharon: I’m actually gonna head home soon. I still have so much to prepare. Everything needs to be packed and ready to deliver to all the shelters. And of course, you two are going to be there in the morning to help me out, right?

Mariah: Mm-hmm. Yes, I promised that we would be there at the break of dawn.

Tessa: Wait, what?

Noah: I’ll be there, too. I could help out with deliveries.

Sharon: Oh, thank you, noah. I’m so glad that you’re all volunteering your time. You know, it feels really good to help people out, especially this time of year. And, nick, I know that you have a busy morning, but we’ll all meet at my house, say around noon?

Nick: Yeah, I’m betting christian opens up all his presents in about 6 minutes, so that’ll give us some time to play with everything, and then we’ll cruise over to your place. And then christian, noah, and i will then go to my parents’.

Mariah: That sounds like fun.

Nick: You are very welcome to join the newman family christmas. You can sit right next to my dad.

Mariah: Ohh, that’s so enticing, but, uh, I’m gonna be busy.

[ Laughter ]

Sharon: Alright, well, I’m going to head home. So, noah, thank you so much for a lovely evening.

Noah: Thank you, mom.

Sharon: And merry christmas to all and to all a good night.

Mariah: Merry christmas.

Sharon: Merry christmas. Do you two need a ride home?

Mariah: Uh…no. No, I think we’re just gonna stay here on this big comfy couch.

Noah: Uh, no, no, actually, I don’t think so. Sorry, it’s not the vibe I’m really going for. So, you don’t have to go home, but —

Nick: You can’t stay here.

Noah: Yes, exactly.

Sharon: Come on. I’ll give you a ride.

Tessa: Oh, no, that’s okay, sharon. I have a plan. We’re not staying here, but we’re not going home. When you’re through with powering through,

Sharon: Oh, how

Tessa: I booked a suite for us as a surprise for our very first christmas together as a married couple.

Sharon: Oh, how sweet.

Nick: Thoughtful and practical.

Tessa: Exactly. I packed an overnight bag for us. We’ll have everything we need. Room service will be there for late-night snacks, and we’ll have a rose-petal bath.

Mariah: Oh, my gosh. Okay, raise your hand if you feel like a queen.

[ Laughs ]

Tessa: And…

Mariah: Oh, there’s more?

Tessa: After our bath, we can lounge in our warm, fuzzy robes.

Mariah: [ Gasps ] I love those robes. They are the coziest. Oh, my gosh, I am so glad that i married you.

Noah: Good work, tess. Very romantic, prescient.

Tessa: Well, shall we?

Mariah: Yes. Let’s go.

Nick: Good night.

Mariah: Good night.

[ Laughter ]

Tessa: Okay. We were gonna be here all night, but now we’re leaving before sharon.

Mariah: Yeah, that’s ’cause i didn’t know that there was a suite downstairs waiting for us. We love you all. Merry christmas. We’ll see you in the morning.

Tessa: Yeah.

Mariah: We’re out of here.

Tessa: Merry christmas!

Noah: Good night.

Tessa: Whew. That was so loud. I bet you could hear it all the way to the north pole.

Mariah: [ Chuckles ] After I put on this robe, i couldn’t hear anything else. It’s like everything just quieted down. Think it has a built-in mute button?

Tessa: Uh, no, I don’t think that’s how sound or robes or anything works. But I love the giddy smile on your face. You’ve had it ever since you got out of the tub.

Mariah: Ah, it was luxurious. Thank you so much for this gift. I think we really needed it.

Tessa: Yes. You are welcome. And I do not feel bad that i enjoyed your gift as much as you did.

Mariah: Well, you know what this means now.

Tessa: What?

Mariah: We are officially a couple that exchanges one gift on christmas eve.

Tessa: Oh! I didn’t know that was a category.

Mariah: Yeah, it totally is.

Tessa: Hmm.

Mariah: And, uh, lucky for you, I got you something. I picked it up this morning. And I didn’t have time to put it under the tree, but this seemed like the perfect occasion.

Tessa: Okay. Wow. This is pretty.

Mariah: [ Chuckles ]

Tessa: [ Gasps ] Ooh. Ooh. “Have yourself a married little christmas. Mariah and tessa, 2022.”

Mariah: Do you get it?

Tessa: Uh, yeah. It’s because we’re married. It’s not that complicated.

Mariah: [ Laughs ] I know it’s corny, but I just thought that we should have something to commemorate our first christmas as wife and wife.

Tessa: I love it. It is perfect. And it could become a new tradition, a new inscribed ornament every year. Maybe next year it’ll say “baby’s first christmas.”

Mariah: We could be moms next year. How crazy is that?

Tessa: Can you imagine having the kind of christmas eve that nick gave christian? Ah, I mean, that’s how it should be for kids — just they’re so excited that they can’t even sleep the night before.

Mariah: I know. I didn’t personally have, uh, that magical “get ready for santa” christmas when I was growing up.

Tessa: Yeah, me neither. But we will make sure that our kid does. Decorating the tree. Wrapping presents. Baking cookies. But our well decorated home will be filled with the most important thing of all.

Mariah: Presents. Lots and lots of presents.

Tessa: Um…love?

Mariah: Love!

Tessa: Mm.

Mariah: Yes.

Tessa: Yeah.

Mariah: Lots and lots of love. That’s better.

Tessa: And not just from us. Our kid will have a big, happy family to celebrate the holiday with.

Mariah: I want that more than anything.

Tessa: Me too.

Mariah: But for the time being, we have each other and this beautiful night together. The world is full of make or break moments.

[ Both laugh ]

Tessa: Good morning.

Mariah: Merry christmas.

Tessa: Merry christmas, my gorgeous wife.

Mariah: [ Inhales sharply ] Mnh, I do not feel very gorgeous right now. I feel like I got [Chuckling] Ran over by a reindeer.

Tessa: [ Sighs ]

Mariah: How is it that you look so good in the morning? Did you, like, get up first and do your hair or something?

Tessa: No, I am just glowing with the holiday spirit.

Mariah: Hmm. I’ll say.

Tessa: Should we order breakfast? Or should we get something from crimson lights?

Mariah: Um, let me see. Oh, uh, definitely crimson lights because we are running very, very late.

Tessa: Oh, okay.

[ Gasps ] Oh. Oh, it snowed! A white christmas. Oh, it’s so beautiful.

Mariah: I’m sure it is, but we really need to get going. We can’t leave sharon hanging.

Tessa: I just think it’s nice. I mean, we expected snow, and we got snow. I mean, I think it’s a good sign.

Mariah: Um, well, it’s supposed to be snowing on and off all day long, which is not a good sign. Uh, when you planned this surprise, did you think to pack, like, boots or warm clothes?

Tessa: Yes, I’m on top of it, and everything’s in the car.

Mariah: Okay, good, ’cause we are gonna need to stay warm through all these deliveries. Uh, would it be weird if we just wore our robes all day long?

Tessa: Yes. Leave the robes here. We got to get going. Sharon needs us.

Mariah: Okay. Time to be christmas elves.

Tessa: Well, technically, elves don’t work today. They work really hard up till today and then take the day off, so…

Mariah: Alright. Well, these elves are gonna be working overtime, so get! Go, go, go, go, go!

Mariah: Good morning!

Sharon: Good morning!

Mariah: Merry christmas.

Sharon: Merry christmas. Good morning. Isn’t the snow beautiful?

Tessa: Oh, it’s such a dream.

Noah: Well, it’s nice of you two to join us.

Mariah: Uh, well, I’m sorry we’re late, mr. Taskmaster, but it’s all my fault.

Noah: Oh, I know.

Mariah: Thanks. Wait, how could you possibly know it’s my fault?

Noah: ‘Cause it always is.

Mariah: Okay, well, we walked here from the hotel, and because of all the fresh snow, we just had to throw a few snowballs at each other.

Noah: That’s why you’re late? Seriously?

Mariah: That, and we overslept.

Tessa: Yeah.

Mariah: But we’re here now, so let’s, uh, get to work after a warm beverage.

Noah: Ooh, you guys probably need a couple of triple espressos after all that champagne, right?

Tessa: Oh, no. We are very sharp.

Mariah: I was a little groggy, but no more than usual.

Noah: It’s christmas miracle.

Mariah: [ Laughs ]

Sharon: Okay, we have got to get to work. We have tons of presents and food to deliver. And I’m a little worried about the driving conditions because it — it’s gonna snow some more.

Mariah: Well, it doesn’t look like there’s that much to deliver.

Noah: Oh, this is just the stuff I couldn’t fit in the van. Everything else is already packed up.

Tessa: You did that all by yourself?

Noah: I sure did, while you two were out frolicking, making snow angels.

Mariah: Hey, I didn’t say anything about snow angels. How did you know that?

Sharon: Okay, we have about 100 more boxes in the back to pack up, and then we can start delivering.

Mariah: Okay.

Noah: I’ll make you two a deal. I do all the deliveries, you finish packaging the boxes?

Tessa: Deal.

Noah: Alright.

Mariah: Let’s get to work.

Noah: Let’s do it.

Mariah: Alright. Go, team! Okay, that’s everything from the back.

Noah: Everything’s loaded for my second trip. I just need this last bag, and I’m out of here.

Sharon: Noah, be careful out there, okay? The roads are really a mess.

Noah: I will, mom. I’ll see you guys at the house.

Mariah: See ya.

Sharon: Well, thank you both so much for your help. I can’t believe we got through that many boxes so quickly.

Tessa: Yeah, good job, everybody.

Mariah: Go, team.

Sharon: Alright, all we have to do now is clean up, and we’re out of here.

Tessa: Okay, sharon, what do we need to bring to your house?

Sharon: Nothing. Nothing. I have everything. It’s gonna be a smaller celebration this year, but very meaningful. Oh. Hello.

Sonya: I’m sorry. The sign says closed, but I saw you all in here.

Sharon: No, that’s alright. Come on in. Are you alright?

Sonya: I need a tow, and my phone’s dead. Can you help me?

Tessa: Oh, of course. Yeah, I have my phone. I’ll call.

Sharon: What happened to your car?

Sonya: I hit a patch of ice and skidded into a pole. Remember in driver’s ed when they told us that you’re supposed to turn in the direction of the skid?

Mariah: Yeah.

Sonya: Well, I didn’t until it was too late. I just sat there with steam coming out of the radiator, thinking, “oh, right, I should have turned into the skid.”

Sharon: Are you sure you’re alright?

Sonya: No, I’m fine. My car’s not. I would like to sit down, though.

Sharon: Of course. Take a seat.

Mariah: Here, right there.

Sonya: Thank you. I can’t tell you how much i appreciate this.

[ Breathing heavily ] Ohh. Who says you have to spend more on skincare

Sonya: [ Exhales heavily ]

Mariah: Here you go.

Sonya: Thanks.

Mariah: So, are you okay? Did you hit your head? Is your neck in pain at all? Did you hit your belly on the steering wheel?

Sonya: No, it really wasn’t that bad.

Tessa: I’m having trouble getting a tow service to come up here. The snow really messed up the road, so all the trucks are busy, but I will try again later.

Mariah: Or, you know, we can always call an ambulance. Or your ob-gyn.

Sonya: I’m fine. Really.

Sharon: Hey, you guys. Let our guest take a breath. She’s been through something very traumatic. Just give her some space. Hi. I’m sharon. I’m the owner here.

Sonya: My name’s sonya. I’m not hurt.

[ Voice breaking ] It’s just that, um, it all, like, happened so fast.

Mariah: Um, would you like something to eat?

Sonya: Something light would be nice. A muffin?

Sharon: Coming right up.

Sonya: Thanks.

Mariah: You know, when I was pregnant, I would have asked for five muffins.

Sonya: I was trying to be polite.

[ Laughs ]

Tessa: So, where were you going? Is there someone we can call?

Sonya: I wasn’t going anywhere. I was just driving.

Mariah: On christmas? Don’t you have a family that you need to be with?

Sonya: I do. I was driving away from my family.

Tessa: Ah.

Mariah: [ Chuckles ]

Tessa: We know what that’s like.

Sonya: I was at my parents’ place. We don’t agree on much, but lately we don’t agree on anything.

[ Voice breaking ] Not even on christmas. So I just — I just had to get out of there.

Tessa: Well, we’re sorry that you had to go through that. But you’re in the right place. We’re glad to have your company.

Sharon: Alright. Here you go. Here’s one muffin. And let me know if there’s anything else I can get for you.

Sonya: Thank you so much. Ooh. You guys must have plans.

Mariah: Oh, plans change. I mean, you didn’t plan to slide into a pole, right? I’m mariah, by the way. I’m sharon’s daughter.

Tessa: Oh, and, um, I’m —

Sonya: Tessa. You’re tessa porter. I thought I recognized you, but I didn’t know why. But your song is playing right now.

Sharon: Yeah, that’s my playlist. This is my favorite song, too.

Tessa: Thank you.

Sonya: I’m a big fan. And not just of your music, but your whole story. It’s so inspirational, and you’ve come so far. That’s all I want — to get a chance to show the world what i can do. When I envisioned my future, being a mom at 22 wasn’t part of the plan. But [Chuckles] Like mariah said, plans change.

Tessa: Yeah. Uh, they do. So, you’re alone?

Sonya: The baby’s father isn’t in the picture. I’m supposed to finish college in the spring and go to grad school, but I don’t know how that’s going to happen. My parents think I can handle it with their support. Even though we haven’t been getting along, they have promised to help take care of their grandchild. But I don’t know if I can be the mom this baby deserves. Especially when you think about all the people out there who can’t wait to be parents.

Tessa: Well, it’s a really big decision, but I’m sure that you will make the right decision for you and your baby.

Mariah: It’s your story to write, nobody else’S.

Sonya: I appreciate you saying that. Thank you for the food and everything, but I need one more thing.

Sharon: What’s that?

Sonya: The bathroom. Which way?

[ Laughter ]

Sharon: It’s right out there and then to the right.

Sonya: Thanks.

[ Exhales sharply ]

Mariah: [ Sighs ]

Sharon: Wow. Poor thing. All alone and on a day like this.

Tessa: I’m just glad that we can be there for her.

Mariah: It’s almost like her showing up here is some sort of christmas miracle.

Sonya: I’m sorry, sharon. I think I might need a little more help after all. I think my water just broke.

Sharon: [ Gasps ] We really had our hands full

“The young and the restless”

will continue. With directv I can get live tvand on demand together:

Sonya: Ohh.

Mariah: Her water broke, and she’s now experiencing contractions, so she is definitely in labor. So, if you could please just send an ambulance as soon as possible. Okay.

Sharon: Remember to breathe through the contractions, alright?

Sonya: Yeah.

Mariah: That is really good advice. Um, so the emts are having a really difficult time sending anybody out to us. The roads are a disaster. There’s accidents all over town.

Tessa: Okay. Well, when will they come?

Mariah: I don’t know. They don’t know.

Sharon: Okay. Well, the good news is a woman’s first baby takes a little while to arrive. The labor will last a lot longer.

Sonya: That’s good news?

Sharon: Well, you want the ambulance to arrive before the baby, right?

Sonya: Yeah.

Sharon: Okay. Can you walk?

Sonya: I think so.

Sharon: Alright, why don’t we walk around a little bit? It’ll be good for you. Keeps your muscles loose. We can walk and talk.

Sonya: Okay.

Sharon: Okay.

Sonya: Oh, I’m glad one of us knows what she’s doing.

Sharon: Look, I realize this seems overwhelming, and contractions are no joke, but i promise you can do this.

Tessa: Are you okay?

Mariah: I’m fine.

Tessa: You’re thinking about when you went into labor with dominic, aren’t you?

Mariah: I was so scared. And being there alone with this pain shooting through my entire body, I-I was terrified that i wasn’t gonna make it to the hospital and that I was gonna have to do this all alone in this tiny little room. And I just… I can still feel it.

[ Sniffles ]

Tessa: But it worked out. You and bowie came home safe. And then their parents changed his name.

Mariah: [ Laughs ]

Tessa: But you are with your wife, your mother, and a young woman who is scared and in pain. She needs us to help her through what is probably one of the scariest moments of her life. Let’s help her.

Mariah: You’re absolutely right. I need to let sonya know that she’s not alone…

Tessa: Mm-hmm.

Mariah: …And that she came to the right place.

Sonya: [ Breathing heavily ]

Mariah: Look, I know that this is not what you expected — a coffeehouse instead of a maternity ward. I was in a similar position when I went into labor, but my friends got me through it, and that is exactly — oh, here — what tessa and I are gonna do for you because we’re friends now. You’re friends with tessa porter. How cool is that?

Sonya: So, you have a child?

Mariah: Uh, no. I was a, uh — I was a surrogate for people who are very near and dear to me.

Sonya: Was it hard to give up the child?

Mariah: The baby wasn’t mine. He belonged with his parents. But we, uh — we see him all the time. We’re his favorite aunts.

Sonya: So, you don’t want any kids of your own?

Mariah: Uh, actually, I would very much like to start a family.

Sonya: When?

Mariah: As soon as possible.

Sonya: [ Groans ]

Mariah: But we — we should not be talking about us right now.

Sonya: Oh, my god!

Tessa: Yeah. I mean, how’s your lower back?

Sonya: Oh, my god, it hurts. Everything hurts.

[ Breathing heavily ] Ohh. Oh, my god!

Mariah: Okay, okay. Just, uh — just breathe now, okay? Just breathe…

Sonya: Oh, my god, I don’t think I can stand anymore!

Tessa: Okay, here you go. Here you go.

Sharon: The contractions are coming on faster, aren’t they? I’ve been keeping track of the time.

Sonya: Yeah.

Sharon: Alright, tessa, there’s some blankets in the back office. Would you get them, please? We’re gonna have to make sonya as comfortable as possible. I think this baby might be coming sooner than we thought.

Sonya: Wait, you think it’s coming now?

Mariah: Um…either way, you’re gonna be fine, and the emts should be here any minute.

Sonya: What if they’re not? What do we do?

Sharon: Well, you know, i might have another option. Let me make a call.

Sonya: [ Breathing heavily ]

Mariah: Okay. Hey, sonya.

Sonya: Ohh. Ohh.

Mariah: Sonya, here.

Sharon: Oh, hey, elena. I’m so glad you answered. Look, we really need help.

Mariah: Okay, sonya, only positive thoughts from here on out, okay? It’s the only thing that matters for you and your baby’s welfare.

Sonya: Okay. Okay.

Mariah: We’ve got you, okay?

Sonya: I trust you. Ohh. You’re gonna get through this,

Sonya: [ Groaning ]

Sharon: Alright, just keep breathing. You’re doing great.

Sonya: [ Moans ]

Sharon: Look, I know it hurts. You’re gonna get through this, okay?

Tessa: Yes, I am so impressed. If I was you, I’d be screaming in pain.

Sonya: [ Screams ] Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!

Tessa: Yep. Just like that. You are doing so good.

Mariah: Okay, keep breathing. It’s all about the breathing.

Sonya: Stop telling me to breathe! I’m breathing!

[ Sobs ]

[ Moans ]

Sharon: Oh. Elena, thank god you got here.

Elena: Yeah, it was a rough trip, but I wasn’t gonna leave you alone.

Sharon: Okay. Thank you. Sonya, this is dr. Elena dawson.

Elena: Hi, sonya. It’s nice to meet you.

Sonya: Hi.

Elena: How many weeks are you?

Sonya: 37.

Elena: Okay, and your contractions are close?

Sonya: Super close. Mnh!

[ Gasps, breathes heavily ]

Elena: Okay. We are gonna be delivering a christmas baby. I just want you to breathe.

Sonya: Okay.

Mariah: She’s very good at breathing.

Elena: Okay. And I don’t need you to push yet, okay?

Sonya: Whatever you say, doctor.

Tessa: You are in very good hands.

Sonya: Ohh.

Elena: Just slow breathing for me.

Sonya: Ohh.

Elena: Great.

Sonya: Mnh.

Elena: You got this.

Sonya: It’s really hard not to push.

Elena: It’s okay. We’re not gonna push.

Sonya: Ow!

Elena: Good. It’s okay. It’s okay. Big, deep breath in. You’re doing great.

Tessa: It’s okay if you…

Mariah: One last breathe, one last breathe.

Elena: Okay. It’s time to start pushing.

Sonya: [ Exhales sharply ]

Elena: Okay.

Sonya: I need to pray first.

Elena: Of course.

Sharon: We’re all praying with you.

Sonya: [ Breathing deeply ] Okay.

Mariah: Okay. Okay.

Sonya: [ Groaning ]

Mariah: You got this. You’re doing so great, sonya.

Tessa: We’re gonna be here for you. We’re gonna be here for you and your baby, okay?

Sonya: [ Crying ]

[ Groaning ]

Tessa: This is it.

Sonya: I don’t know if I can.

Tessa: No, this is it.

Mariah: We are so proud of you. You’re doing amazing. Just keep going.

Elena: One more push. I can see the head.

Sonya: [ Groaning ]

Elena: Good, sonya.

Tessa: Okay, come on, girl. You can do this.

Mariah: You’re doing it, okay? You’re doing it!

Sonya: [ Breathing heavily ]

Tessa: Just one more.

Sonya: [ Groaning ]

Mariah: There you go, there you go, there you go!

Sonya: Ahhhhh!

Mariah: Oh, yes!

Sonya: [ Breathing heavily ]

[ Baby crying ]

[ Laughing ] Ohh. It’s a girl?

Sharon: It’s a perfect little girl.

Sonya: Ohh. [ Chuckles ]

[ Exhaling heavily ]

Mariah: Oh, my god.

Tessa: Oh, they’re here. They’re here.

[ Laughter ] They’re here.

Sonya: [ Exhales heavily ]

We’re taking you and your baby on a short trip to memorial, but it looks like you were in very good hands here.

Sonya: I was. It was a miracle.

Elena: Let me update you on a few things.

Mariah: Yeah.

Sharon: Aww. She’s beautiful.

Sonya: Thank you so much. I don’t know what I would have done without you, sharon.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Sharon: Oh, it’s noah. I have to take this. Excuse me.

Sonya: Plans change.

[ Laughter ]

Tessa: Yeah, they certainly do.

Sonya: An accident may have brought me here, but I didn’t come here by accident. I was supposed to meet you. The universe brought us together for a reason.

Mariah: You know, we have been thinking the same exact thing. We are so happy that we met you.

Sonya: I’m so grateful for everything you shared with me. The two of you have such a strong, beautiful relationship. You’re gonna make such incredible mothers.

[ Sighs ] I hope I can be a good mother, too. You were right. This is my story, and I’m writing it.

[ Chuckles ] I was so scared today, but then I found a strength I didn’t know I had inside me. Holding my daughter like this… I feel like I can do anything.

[ Exhales heavily ]

[ Sniffles ]

Mariah: [ Chuckles ]

Tessa: Bye.

Sonya: Bye.

Tessa: [ Groans lightly ] Hey.

Mariah: I just had the most intense dream.

Tessa: Me too.

 

Tessa: Wow. We haven’t had a psychic connection like that since you were kidnapped.

Mariah: Now we just had the same dream.

Tessa: I think it shows how close we are.

Mariah: It felt so realistic. It felt like it was actually happening until the second i opened my eyes.

Tessa: Yeah. I’ve never woken up so exhausted. That dream was so emotionally draining.

Mariah: I mean, meeting this young woman and then letting myself believe that somehow it meant that our baby was coming soon, only to have this imaginary young mother choose to keep her child. I mean… what if it’s an omen?

Tessa: An omen of what?

Mariah: Then we’re not gonna get what we want.

Tessa: [ Sighs ] I know why you felt that way. I was disheartened, too. But I don’t think we can ascribe too much to an emotional dream. It was a manifestation of our hopes and fears. On thanksgiving, the birth mother we wanted chose to go in another direction and let her cousin adopt the baby. And now our collective anxious subconscious is just telling us not to get our hopes up too high.

Mariah: And you don’t think it’s a sign?

Tessa: Okay, well, if you want to think about it that way, think about all the positive aspects of the dream.

Mariah: Like what?

Tessa: [ Chuckles ] We met a birth mother who we connected with.

[ Voice breaking ] We felt the joy of bringing a new life into the world. I think it affirms that we’re gonna be kick-ass moms.

Mariah: [ Chuckles ] Well, I guess it’s like sharon said yesterday. Every experience we have is just bringing us that much closer to finding our own child.

Tessa: I mean, I think it’s true. And if anything, the dream means that, even when we face setbacks… you have to keep the faith. I mean, isn’t that worth remembering, especially today?

Mariah: You’re right. And I love you.

Tessa: I love you, too.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Inhales sharply ]

Noah: Okay. Actually, I think it’s probably gonna be two trips, so I will take the gifts right now and then come back for the meals when they’re ready.

Sharon: Sounds good.

[ Gasps ]

Mariah: Good morning! Hi.

Noah: Merry christmas.

Mariah: Merry christmas.

Sharon: Merry christmas!

Noah: Oh, it’s nice of you two to join us.

Mariah: Sorry we’re late.

Noah: Too much free champagne last night?

Tessa: Maybe a little.

[ Laughter ]

Sharon: Oh, no. You two didn’t sleep well?

Mariah: Uh, something like that. But it’s nothing a strong cup of coffee can’t fix.

Sharon: Okay, well, I just made a pot.

Noah: Yeah. I’ll grab you guys some mugs.

Mariah: Okay.

Sharon: Thanks, honey. Um, is everything okay?

Mariah: Yeah. Why wouldn’t it be?

Sharon: That’s not an answer.

Mariah: [ Chuckling ] Um… we’re fine. Just a little groggy.

Sharon: Okay. You just don’t seem like your usual effervescent selves.

Mariah: [ Chuckles ]

[ Cellphones ping ] Oh.

Tessa: Um, it’s from delphine.

Noah: Who’s that?

Tessa: It’s the woman we’re supposed to meet after new year’S.

Mariah: The potential birth mother.

Sharon: What does she say?

Mariah: She sent, uh, a sonogram. Yeah.

Tessa: It’s a girl.

Sharon: Ooh. Wow. She’s beautiful.

Mariah: And she also included a message. “We can’t wait to meet you.”

Sharon: [ Gasps ]

Mariah: [ Laughing, crying ]

Tessa: [ Laughing, crying ]

Next week on

“the young and the restless”…

Tucker: We could have this great new company, work side by side with each other. That’s my dream come true.

Phyllis: Say “rock star.”

Danny: Rock star!

Daniel: Rock star

Phyllis: Okay.

Danny: Oh, good note.

Billy: I’m worried about us, lily.

Lily: Me too.

Chloe: You’re really not feeling well. Wait, sally. Is there a possibility you might be…

 

Both: There’s no place like home for the holidays.

Case: Thank you for welcoming us into your homes for the past 50 years.

Morrow: And tuning in to “the young and the restless.”

Sarpy: Our greatest gift is our “y&r” family.

Dominic: Which includes you.

Thomas scott: We’ve celebrated the holidays with you for five decades, and we can’t wait to spend many more.

Braeden: From all of us here in genoa city to all of you, happy holidays.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Merry Christmas. A

Oh God. Maddy, honestly, you never ceased to amaze me. Snagging a holiday layover at she Kiki. What a poo. Well, of course I’m gonna want all the bloody details. No, we’re not talking about me. But since you ask, thankfully, I have no details to. Yes. It turns out I didn’t have to help Xandra out of that little jam after all.

don’t worry. I made sure that he knows that he still owes me one. Why does he owe you one?

Hey, for losing the last of marbles. Now there’s a Christmas miracle. This about a Christmas miracle. Well, if I tell you it won’t come true. No baby. No. That’s a birthday wish, right? Yeah, no. I was saying that it’ll be quite the Christmas miracle. If you and I can go over to Doug and Julie’s in time for the party, given all the crimping you’ve been doing in there.

Rip thing. Fixed my hair. Well, whatever you did, you look lovely as usual. Uh, well, so should we head out then? Oh, no. I have a much better idea. You too. Yeah. I thought maybe we could just skip this party and go straight to the after party festivities. Hmm. Somebody is very naughty boy. . Yes. Well, maybe you want to be nice.

You get this? You said that we weren’t exchanging gifts until tomorrow. We aren’t, but this one, I. This one has to be open tonight.

Merry Christmas.

Oh, honey, that sounds just wonderful. Wow.

Honey. Julie just walked in with, uh, all the Horton ornaments in the big box. You remember that hope? Yes. Yes. Uh, I, I’ll, I’ll let you say hello to her in a second. Yes. Oh, thank you. And, and Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas to you, princess. Hope. Hope darling. Hi. Oh, you can’t imagine how much your father and I wish that you were here with us right now.

Of course. Well, I’m expecting nothing less than a, a gold medal for every one of your skating students at the next Olympics, . Of course. I love you too, sweetheart. Okay. Okay. Bye-Bye. She sounds in good spirits. She does. God bless her. She has just devoted to those skating students. Yeah, but still I know.

That’s great. But I, I wish I didn’t have to talk to her long distance. Yeah, I miss her too. Wow. I miss ’em all. You realize this is the first Christmas that we won’t have one child or any of our grandchildren here to celebrate with us in. Hope she’s in Montreal and Sierra and Ben are sailing the great wide ocean with Little Bow.

And Sean Douglas and and Bell are in Africa with Claire. Lucky you got me here, kiddo. I’m very lucky I’ve got you and I know it. Poor Eli Lonnie and the twins, their first Christmas all apart, far, far away in Maryland. It’s just so depressing. Julie, dear, how I know Valerie is there for Eli and the twins, and that’s great, but I would just like to know that they’re okay.

You know, I would, I, I would give everything just to see them with my own two eyes. I think that can be arranged.

Hey, grandma is,

Holy, precious darling. Look. Yeah, I, I seen them. Dear . Oh my sweet sweetheart. Merry Christmas. Your grandma miss you.

Like sand through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

Did you know they were coming? Honey, I was sworn to secrecy you. Devil Uhhuh. I don’t think we should invoke, you know who? Especially after what happened last Christmas point taken. I’m so thrilled to have them here. It’s real. It’s real. Grandpa, take a look at your great grandpa, darling, isn’t he? You? You are so beautiful.

You’ve grown up so much. I won’t be able to call you little Jules much longer

sweethearts. So how on earth did you manage to cross CrossCountry from Maryland with these two all by yourself? Uh, grandma, I have learned to do a lot of things on my own since Lonnie went away.

Say something. It’s an ornament. Yeah, but it’s not just any ornament. It’s, it’s your ornament for the Horton treat. Isn’t that just for family? Baby, you are family. You’re my husband.

What’s wrong? It’s just I don’t feel worthy of it having an on your family’s tree.

Tonight’s your family’s big tree trimming party. His dad’s getting tunnels and Charlotte ready?

I’ll bring them tomorrow so they can wish you a Merry Christmas,

Christmas without you.

I am gonna do my best to make it okay for the kids, cuz I know that’s what you would want

for me.

Miss you more every day. Not less. Like some people expect, they say that it, it gets easier with.

Every day, I can’t

see your smile,

hear your voice, feel you close to me.

Like I said, I miss. More, not less,

but uh, but I will, I will see to it that the, that our babies find some joy is Christmas. They will,

I’ll be surrounded by a lot of people that loved you.

I love you, Abigail.

I love you forever.

You’re here.

Well, of course I’m here. Where else would I be on Christmas Eve? But here with our precious girl, I thought Jack was picking you up from the airport. Well, I knew that he was gonna be on granddaddy duty, so I took a car service. The flowers are lovely, Chad.

She should.

She should be getting ready to hang her order in helping the kids hang theirs.

I know.

Um, Mattie, I’m, I’m gonna have to phone you back. Hi. Hello there, little lad. I didn’t see or hear you come in. Shouldn’t you be upstairs getting ready for the party? I’m already ready. Ah, so I see. Why don’t you look very sharp indeed. Um, maybe you should be a good big brother and go help little Charlotte get ready too.

Grandpa Jack is helping. Why does Zander, you, didn’t anyone ever teach you that it’s impolite to eavesdrop? How wasn’t eavesdropping you? Just talk loud. What did you do for him? What did I do for Zander? Um, I just did him a favor. That’s all. What kind of favor?

An ornament with my name on it doesn’t belong in the same forest as your family, let alone the same Hello family Christmas tree.

You have heard all about how my family is filled with saints. Did you also know that it’s filled with sinners? Yeah. Right. No, I’m serious. My dad and my uncle Bill’s rivalry over my Aunt Laura was. Bad. It almost turned deadly. Really? Mm-hmm. and Julie? It’s not Julie. Julie and her mother, my aunt ADD, fell in love with the same excon.

Who? They met through my Uncle Bill. No. Mm-hmm. . Wait. Who? Like Julie was in love with some ex-Con. Doug. Doug. Doug. Doug. Doug. And don’t even get me started on my cousins. That’s a whole other horror show. So, but say you, my husband still think you’re not worthy.

Save by the knock.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, Jack . Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas to you. It is so good to see you here with us little ones. Now it is Christmas. Yeah. Hey sweetheart. Why don’t we see if we can get these two guys upstairs and show them your lay room. Oh, that’s a great idea. Yeah. Oh, thank you so much for hiring Lucy.

In there. Here, and look out the little ones. Oh, let me tell you about Lucy. She’s a sophomore at Salem High. She lives on this street. Daddy, I think she wants a little nappy pool in the playroom. I’ll take her. Well, we’ll go get up there with her now. Now Lucy’s waiting. That’s good.

Patios fer.

Good luck.

Isn’t this cream? Yeah. So wonderful to have. Now it’s Christmas. It is. It’s Christmas. cookies and kitties.

Jack’s in charge now.

Okay, darling. Really, how are you coping? Oh, I’m not gonna lie to you, grandma. It’s been tough. I’m sure Valerie has been a big help. Oh, yeah. No, my, my mom’s been great. I don’t know how I would’ve done it without her, but as much as the twins love them, some Grandma Val, she is no substitute for their mom.

Why you are persistent, aren’t you? If persistent means curious, then yep. Hmm. Right. But the truth is,

can you keep a secret?

I helped Zander pick out cousin Sarah’s Christmas present. Can’t you do that? Well, Because I have exquisite taste. But you cannot say anything about this to anyone. Okay. Because Zander wouldn’t want Sarah to know that he needed help. So this has to be Oh, secret. Yeah. What are you too conspiring about?

Well, I was on my way over to Julie’s then. I thought I’d swing by to see if the two of you needed a lift. Oh, thank you. Magus. Very thoughtful of you. But I feel like I, uh, have walked in on something. No, we’re, we’re fine. We’re all fine here. No, we are not fine here. Sanders being hard on himself. He has reservations about putting his ornament on the Horton family tree.

Sander, your Uncle Victor, not his own ornament. When he and I got. And the Hortons were okay with that? Oh, not exactly at first. Some members at the family, they were a little crazy that their uncle Mickey’s widow had taken up with the reformed Greek mobster. See, I knew it. Ha, but they got over themselves when, uh, they realized how much Victor.

Loved each other

So you, my dear son-in-law, you are also reformed, but not just reformed. You are a wonderful husband to my daughter. And drum roll please. You also say, Bonnie from that sadistic kidnapping clown. So face it, Xander. You’re one of the good guys now a hero.

Those poor little angels, their first Christmas without their mother. It’s not nearly as sad as what Charlotte and Thomas are going through. And Chad, oh my God, I, I can’t even imagine. Nor can. The good news is that Lonnie will be eligible for parole in a year. So at least I get to reassure the kids that their mom will be coming home soon.

Chad can’t make that promise to his, I’m, I’m just so sorry that I haven’t been here for you more. Chad, don’t, don’t apologize. You had to take care of yourself. You did that. You’re here. Yes, I am back. And being back and, and facing the reality again of losing our precious abi I, it’s different Without the crutch of, of being high, I feel different.

I don’t know, just more, uh, less self-centered in my grief. I. I’m worried about you, Chad, how you’re doing, how the kids are doing.

We’re managing, yeah, those, those kids are resilient. I always say they get that from their mother. They get that from you too. Well, I don’t know about that. Yeah. Honestly, the, um, Focusing on other things has, has really helped, uh, work. Yeah. I, I, I heard that you’re, uh, you’re working for Stephanie’s PR firm.

Is that right? How’s that going? Yeah, it’s, it’s been a lifeline, huh? I mean, Stephanie is a, is a great boss. She’s a great friend. It’s good. Sounds like you’re getting close. Yeah. We have this shit in here. Oh, it’s cold out here. Yeah. Well, well, you. And we, uh, head over to that Christmas Eve party where there’s a warm house full of a lot of people who can’t wait to see you.

Merry Christmas, my angel.

Why sweet? Eli? I missed you so much. I missed you too. Both of you. You know the kids are always asking about you. Oh. I am thrilled that you’re here with the twins for Christmas. I just can’t imagine anything that would make this day any better. You sure about that?

We were hardly conspiring. We were just, um, bonding a little, weren’t we, darling? Well, I’m glad to hear that. So get ready for some more family. Bondi, Eli, the twins just showed up. Ah, Buffy. Yes it is. Yes it is. So, uh, let’s say we get in there and start talking it up. What do you say? Sport and then the ornaments.

And then the ornaments. Right? Well, I, I will meet you out there because I have to go check something in the. What does that, can we have a now after the ornaments, come on, let’s go see the twins. Come on and we’ll see you soon.

God nosey. Little How is Bonnie? Ugh. Well, she’s still suffering from that hole Kidnapping ordeal. She sees demented clowns everywhere she looks. I really hope that she follow through. I’m going to see a therapist. Yes, so do I, but for now, she’s alive and she’s well. Thanks to you, Xander. We’re all very grateful to you for that, for your bravery.

You, my brave husband, have a very important appointment to keep with a certain Christmas tree and I intend to make sure that you keep it. Ah, and there’s no arguing with her when she has that look on her face. Don, I. And I can’t fight off both of you, so let’s trim ourselves a tree, shall we?

Grandma, this is my big boy. Oh, . Oh, oh. It’s so good to see you. Merry Christmas grandma. Merry Christmas to you, my dear. Oh, where’s your sister? Oh, CICE upstairs with Jules and Carver. And, uh, Oh, Lucy, that sweet girl from down the street. Yep. 15 years old and very responsible. Oh wow. Bless her for giving us her time today.

Huh? Jennifer, why didn’t you let me pick you up at the airport? Oh, well

I had to make a quick stop first. Alright then. Well, sweetheart, I missed you. Oh, so much. I missed you.

What’s going on, man? How you doing? I’m well, brothers. How are you?

Take it each day as it comes. That’s all you can do. I know this Christmas is gonna be a tough one for you and the kids. For you too though, man. Oh, you know, thank God we all got each other. Damn that the kids are surrounded by so many people that love them. Yeah. Anyway, speaking of kids, I’m better check up on the twins now.

Yeah. Good to see you. Good to see you too.

This is turning out to be a lovely Christmas after all. Indeed, it is. There’s nothing like being with family for the holidays.

Well, I have found someone who wants to say hello. Hi, Charlotte. Fuck it. How you’ve grown. Seth, come sit right here. Aw, where are carver jewels? They both went down for an nap. Oh my goodness. Wow. . Good to see you too. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Well, I would love to drink in all this family. Goodness, but I have to sit out the desserts.

When’s already doing that? When? Allie and I are doing the desserts, so if you all will, excuse me. Uh oh. Grandma’s on the war pass. Uh oh indeed. Did I? But now it’s officially Christmas

What do you think you’re doing with those? Well, this is British Christmas pudding. It’s a holiday tradition in the uk. Surely you have room in that iron stomach of yours for something other than pedestrian donuts.

My beloved grandmother created the recipe for those donuts. Their Horton family legacy passed on through the generations. She also created this beautiful home that you are squatting in. So if I were you, I think I would show a little. Respect. Hmm. I think it’s you who should be showing me some respect, because if it weren’t for me, your precious cousin Jennifer would be spending the holidays in Statesville.

Hello. Don’t tell us that you started the party without us. Oh my goodness. So, so good to see you. Oh, my cousin, it’s so good to see you. Yes, aunt Maggie. Oh, hello, Jennifer. Oh, oh. Merry Christmas darling. Aren’t you? And you, Jack. It’s so good to be home

here. You finally made an honest man out of this. Oh, I dunno if I’ll go that far. Oh. I’m like . Welcome to the family. Zander. Nice mate. Yeah, that means a lot. Right? I know you and Lonnie didn’t always have the highest opinion for me. Just a family. Yeah. Well that changed after you helped rescue your twins from that crazy ass Vivian Alama.

I’m just glad I could do. How’s Lonnie doing? Uh, she’s counting down in days, but she’ll be home soon. Hm. Will you please give her our love? I will. I’ll also tell her that this man has changed his life and you’re making our cousin a very happy lady.

That can’t be true. No. This is just another one of your manipulations. No manipulation at all. You can ask Jennifer if you don’t believe me, although I think that might be quite stressful for her to have to relive the accident. I am guessing it was quite traumatic for her to have to get behind the wheel of a car high as a kit and run down her stepdaughter.

Wouldn’t wanna trigger a relapse for her. Now, would we, what is in this for you, Gwen? What’s your angle? Why are you keeping it a secret? Some sort of insurance. Are you’re planning on blackmail? Jennifer, are you planning on using it as a get outer jail free card? Oh Lord, goodness sake. No. Stop. Look.

Jennifer and I will probably never be friends, but she’s my father’s wife and I love my father, which is why I haven’t said anything and I’m not going to

now. Then is there room enough at your Christmas Eve party for me and my pudding? I’ll go ahead serve your bloody pu, but there will never be room enough on the Horton Christmas tree for an or. With your name on it? Mm-hmm. , I don’t think you’ll have much say in the matter when you’ve, you know, cashed in your chance.

I’ll have a say in the matter. I’ll always have a say in the matter, even if I have to send a directive from the great beyond.

Standby baby. I’m actually a bit chilly. I’m gonna run upstairs and grab a sweater. Hurry back,

Thomas. Hey. Hi cousin Sarah. I hope that you’re having a nice c. It’s okay. I miss Mommy though. Yeah, of course you do. We all miss her very much. But Tylee said she’s looking after us from heaven. Yes. Yeah, of course she is. I hope you are the present and, but you, I’m sure I will. Aunt Gwen helps him pick it.

What? Oops. It was supposed to be a secret. She only told me cuz I heard her on the phone. What are you talking about? I hurt for Tell somebody that’s saying your older one.

I’ll keep your secret.

Gwen look. Hi. Yeah. Hi. Hello Maggie. Hi Gwen. How are you? Well, and Jennifer, Merry Christmas. Same to you, Gwen. I’m glad that you are. You are doing better. My dad tells me you’re doing better. I’m glad. Thank you. Right. Hi. Where’s Sarah? You know what? Actually, it doesn’t matter. I, I just need to tell you, but she’s, hi Gwen.

Merry Christmas. Same to you, Sarah. Everybody. It’s getting to be that time. Who wants to trim the Horton Christmas tree? Oh, wait, wait. But it’s dog. Are you gonna sing for us this? Oh, I don’t know. Oh, come on. You have to come on. Everybody. Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing. Try darling.

You managed to lift everyone’s spirits with your big, generous heart. Oh, I don’t know about that. I’m really touched. You think so though,

I just tell the truth. I love you so much. God Williams and I love you. Juli Olson Banning Anderson Williams. . What don’t you say we title off. Got another big day tomorrow. Yeah. Christmas day. Wow. Can’t wait to spend it with you. Mylo.

Oh, who are you texting? Uh, Maggie. Just making sure she got home Safe and sound. Aw. So are the kids all sleeping? Oh yes. All four are nestled snug in their bed streams of St. Nicholas. Poor Eli’s in bed too. Totally exhausted. Well, traveling with kids will do that to you. Ah, true, true. So do you wanna go to sleep too?

Actually, sleep is not what I had on my mind. Jack and a house full of people. I know I can be quiet since when. All right, Mrs. Dev, maybe show you some of my steal moves. Oh, . Oh, okay. . All right. All right. Oh, hang on. One a second. Oh, oh. Phone. Oh, no. Ignore it. Ignore it. Oh, no, no. It’s jj. It’s JJ Johannesburg.

Hello. Oh. Oh. Hi, sweetheart. Oh, it’s so good to hear your voice. Merry Christmas to you.

Well, at least someone’s going to have a Merry Christmas.

There she is. You had some fun tonight, I hope. Yeah, I did up until a certain point. Oh yeah. I mean, of course it was sad too. Mm-hmm. , Abigail gone, and Lonnie not being there either, but your family were great. They made me feel so welcome, like I really belonged.

What’s. Well, I would’ve thought it’d be obvious it being Christmas and everything. Mm-hmm. . And You want me to open it now? What’s that? The midnight.

Is this the gift that Gwen help you pick out for me? What? That’s what she told. Apparently he overheard her telling someone that you owed her one. Oh, yeah. That it was, yes. No, I, I, I ran into it in the square when I was shopping and she could see that I was just clueless, had no idea what to get you, and yeah, she agreed to help me.

Let’s see what happens when you two put your heads together.

This is what you and Gwen picked out from me. Merry Christmas.

Oh, Abby. I did it my made it through my first Christmas Eve without you.

I managed to stay strong for the kids.

I think they had had some fun.

They’re so sweet and brave. Yeah. I got them some gifts from you. Some things that I, I, I thought maybe you would’ve gotten them.

I hope it helped them. I’m sure it did.

Abby,

you’re here. I’m always here. You think a little thing like death is gonna come between a love like ours? No. No, not even that.

I miss you. I miss you.

You know, you said you needed to be strong for the kids. I think you should be strong for yourself too. There’s so much left for you to do. There’s so much joy for you to feel, and I’m gonna be with you every step of the way with you and Thomas and.

Their faces,

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas, my.

Eric: Good. You deserve that. Both of you.

Charlie: Little r&r at the cabin, you know. Pammy will knit and I’ll stare at her lustily and hope the fish don’t bother me.

Eric: That’s great for the two of you. Good. It’s a great way to end off the year.

Pam: Eric, you know that this is what stephanie always wanted for me. A kind-hearted fella to call my own. Even though she’s not here physically, I– I feel like she’s here with us.

Brooke: I feel her presence every day.

Katie: Especially on a day like today when we went to the mission.

Brooke: It’s wonderful that we’re continuing the important family tradition.

Katie: Yeah.

Eric: Yeah. Stephanie would be proud. She’d be proud of all of us gathering here in– in our family home. So let’s eat, drink and be merry. All right? Not necessarily in that order.

Pam: What order?

Eric: Come on. Okay. And you put that outside.

Charlie: You sure?

Pam: He’s gonna put somebody’s eyes out.

Katie: So, are you having a holly, jolly good time?

Carter: Always. Though I am a little nervous about eric’s eggnog.

Katie: Oh, you should be. It’s lethal.

[ Carter laughing ] Oh.

Carter: Mistletoe.

Katie: Hmm.

Carter: Did you plan this? Did you plan to get me under here?

Katie: Well, I don’t know who put it up there, but I’m awfully glad they did.

Carter: New year, new possibilities.

Katie: New possibilities with someone who doesn’t just listen, but actually hears me. Someone I know will take very, very good care of my heart.

Carter: A very special, miraculous heart.

Eric: Everybody, please can I say something for a minute? Okay. We’re going to eat pretty soon. We will. So, don’t eat all this, right? We got lots of food. Um, I’m so happy that everybody’s here. Thank you. I’m actually honored that you’re here in the house. Oh, in fair warning, I’m gonna ask everybody to just say a little something about what you feel grateful for this year. You know, what I see here, I see love and affection that you all share for each other and support and protectiveness. And that means we’re a family. That’s the most important thing. So, happy holidays. And god bless us everyone.

Charlie: Yeah.

Hope: Hear, hear. Pain hits fast. everyone here, all of yo

Zende: Granddad, you’re my biggest advocate. Everyone here, all of you have guided me in some unique way. Some of you are family, but all of you are friends. Today, I am so very thankful for the meaningful connections I’ve made in my life. And for second chances.

Paris: Second chances, third chances. However many times it takes for us to get it right because when it’s worth it and when it’s written in the stars, it always falls into place.

Carter: It’s been quite the year. I learned a lot. And what I lost, I gained in clarity. I have a lot to appreciate like your forgiveness, your brotherhood. You guys are my chosen family and I’m looking forward to seeing what tomorrow brings.

Katie: The holidays, new year it’s– it’s a time for reflection. It’s a celebration of all those little miracles that have brought us to this place. And I just know that we have so many more miracles yet to come. All of us. All my sisters. I’m just so happy that we’re all in such a good place.

Hope: Aw. There’s that logan pride. I mean, I am so happy I get to be a part of– of that group. But not only you, but everyone here, I mean, you all are such extraordinary people and I’m so happy my kids have such good role models to look up to, especially this man right here.

Liam: Kids are really growing up. I mean, look at ’em. Like all wide-eyed and enthusiastic. It’s the best. You guys are the best. You know that, right? It’s a nice reminder to stay openhearted. Just look for the joy. It’s there. And um, fortunately in my case, I don’t have to look too far.

Brooke: We’re all very lucky to have good health, good fortune, lifelong friendships. You know, life isn’t perfect. And when we feel alone, we get to lean on the people that we love. Like I lean on my children and my grandchildren, my family. And I am so grateful to have each and every one of you in my life, especially now.

[ Door creaks ]

Pam: Yay! You made it.

Eric: You’re– you’re just in time. We’re all telling what we’re actually grateful for. And I’m grateful for you as my son and that you showed up here just now.

Ridge: I’m– I’m here. And I brought presents for everybody. And I’m– I’m wearing a– a big coat of humility ’cause I thought I knew everything about life and love and communicating and it turns out I know very little.

Eric: Yeah. Well, fair warning, you’re never gonna figure any of that out except what’s really important. Merry christmas, everybody.

All: Merry christmas.

Zende: We’re glad you made it.

Hope: Can you believe ridge came?

Liam: I don’t know. Is it weird that I’m not that surprised? Who wouldn’t wanna spend christmas with the girl of his dreams?

Brooke: I wasn’t sure you’d make it.

Ridge: Oh, I wasn’t sure I was gonna make it either, but I really wanted to see your face. Merry christmas. When a cold comes on strong, the power of ridge and brooke

Katie: Gosh, it’s– it’s huge that ridge decided to show up.

Donna: Yep.

Charlie: What are they yapping about?

Eric: I don’t know, but I think it’s a good sign that he showed up after all.

Pam: It’s like I said, the power of ridge and brooke cannot be denied.

Charlie: When’s he gonna make the big move?

Ridge: I don’t wanna overstay my welcome. I just wanted to drop off some gifts and say hi and that’s it.

Brooke: What? No, don’t be silly. This is your family home. You don’t need to rush off.

Ridge: I don’t wanna interfere on your holiday. You know, I’ve– I’ve got some work to do on me. I gotta– I gotta learn how to be more direct.

Brooke: Well, let’s not get into that right now.

Ridge: I should have believed in you. I do. I do believe in you. And I know you’ve sworn off men for the moment, especially this man and it’s christmas.

Brooke: Oh, my goodness.

Ridge: Yeah. Very funny guys. What are you doing?

Pam: ‘Tis the season.

Charlie: Look like you needed a little nudge, so.

Ridge: What do you say?

Brooke: Well, it would be rude to deny the magic of the mistletoe.

Ridge: Hm.

Zende: You’re doing well.

Pam: All right. We’re closing in on it.

[ Indistinct chatter ]

Zende: Who has a gingerbread house?

Pam: I do.

Zende: Very lovely.

[ People cheering ] Yeah!

[ Everyone cheering ]

Brooke: So jealous. Always. Well done, sisters.

Carter: That’s a good one. Let’s keep going.

[ Overlapping chatter ]

Eric: Listen, everybody. I was so, um– I’m so glad to see how much fun we’re having. I know I am. I enjoyed very much to hear speeches about what– what you were grateful for in this life. I think it’s safe to say we’re all very blessed in our lives with great blessings. I think it’s uh, safe to say that on today and jesus’ birthday, that we all appropriately reach out to share some of that with– with others in our lives and with people that aren’t even in our lives. People not as fortunate as we are. I pledge to do that and I hope you do too. To live the philosophies of this life all year long and to make this world a better place.

Ridge: Well said, dad.

Eric: Thanks.

Carter: I think we all wish this feeling would last. People being kind and considerate, sharing their appreciation for each other, remembering the value of community. Sometimes the smallest gesture can make the biggest impact in a person’s life.

Brooke: There is beauty and inspiration all around us. We just need to open our eyes to see it. And all this joy and this happiness and this peace and love that we feel during christmas, we need to carry that with us all year long.

Eric: Yeah.

Brooke: Happy holidays, everybody.

Eric: Happy holidays okay, I want some of that eggnog.

[ Indistinct chatter ]

[ Douglas plays “jingle bells” ]

Carter: For me?

Katie: Yeah.

Carter: What?

Katie: It’s– it’s very small.

Carter: Oh, come on. You shouldn’t have. All right. Let’s see.

[ Eric plays “deck the halls” ]

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Gabi makes Mexican wedding cookies at home with her daughter Arianna. Li comes in dressed as Santa Claus but Arianna says he is not Santa.

Stefan finishes a call at the DiMera Mansion as Wendy shows up at the front door. Stefan asks what she is doing here.

Kristen walks through the town square with Rachel and runs in to Chloe. Kristen mentions meeting Brady for lunch. Chloe says she’s going to finish Christmas shopping and remarks that her budget is so much bigger this year after her huge promotion when Kristen got fired. Rachel questions if Chloe got her a present, but then says she doesn’t want anything from her. Chloe wishes Rachel a Merry Christmas anyway. Rachel remarks that she won’t have to see Chloe because she’ll be with her real family.

Brady questions Eric saying that they need to kidnap his daughter. Brady says what he is suggesting is insane. Eric responds that what’s insane is Kristen having Marlena, Kate, and Kayla’s lives in her hands. Brady says he wants to end the blackmail as much as he does. Eric repeats that they need to hit Kristen where she lives and says Rachel is key. Eric points out that Kristen has two weaknesses; Brady and Rachel, so they have to beat her at her own game. Brady argues that it’s not a game since Kristen has the serum to save Marlena, Kayla, and Kate, as well as the orchid to make it and it’s the only one that exists on the planet. Eric questions what if Kristen won’t up the ante and ask him to sleep with her or even marry her. Brady says after they get the next dose, he will be free. Eric doesn’t believe it and guarantees that Kristen will say the women need more shots for the rest of their lives. Eric declares that Kristen has too much power and needs to be stopped. Eric argues that they have to do something now.

Kristen tells Rachel that wasn’t nice and that she needs to be nice to everyone, especially on Christmas, even those who tried to steal what belongs to them. Rachel apologizes to Chloe. Kristen remarks that she, Rachel, and Brady are a family again. Rachel says that’s what she wanted most for Christmas. Kristen tells her that wishes do come true. Rachel asks when she will get her whole wish. Kristen tries to tell her they will talk about it later but Rachel points out in front of Chloe that Brady and Kristen aren’t married and don’t even sleep in the same room

Wendy tells Stefan that she came to see Johnny as she heard what happened at his grandmother’s memorial service, so she wanted to see if he was okay. Stefan responds that Johnny hasn’t come down from his room, so he’s assuming that he’s still asleep. Wendy guesses he must be exhausted after everything he’s been through. Wendy asks Stefan to just tell Johnny that she stopped by. Stefan stops her and informs her that he has left her several messages but hasn’t heard back from her. Stefan questions if she’s avoiding him. Wendy claims she’s just been super busy. Stefan asks if she has time to talk now about her little jaunt to Jakarta.

Li tells Arianna that she’s right, he’s not Santa, he’s his helper. Arianna acknowledges him as Li and calls him lame. Arianna tells Gabi that she’s been through this before with her boyfriends putting on a show to try to get her to like them, listing off Chad, Stefan, and Jake. Gabi tells her that she’s being very rude. Arianna informs Li that she’s too old to believe in Santa. Li says he’s a lot older than her and he’s still a believer, but if she’s not, then he guesses he should send all her presents back to the North Pole which causes a look of concern from Arianna.

Roman finds Kate at a table at the Brady Pub and asks her what’s wrong. Kate claims she’s fine but Roman tells her to talk to him. Kate reminds him that it’s the time of year when they had to send her son Philip away. Kate thought he would’ve progressed and released soon but when she called the hospital, they wouldn’t even let her talk to him because he had a major setback. Kate adds that the prison had a viral outbreak so Lucas can’t have any visitors. Kate says it’s bad enough that her kids aren’t with her on Christmas, but being cut off from the ones that need her the most is intolerable. Roman asks what he can do. Kate thanks him but says what matters most on Christmas is being with family. Kate guesses when Will called to say he was staying in California, it was a sign of things to come. Roman encourages that Allie is here so he offers to invite her and Henry over. Kate says she’s busy with Chanel and Paulina. Roman assures that she’d love to see her but Kate says not to do all that and that she just misses her family. Roman and Kate’s son Rex then arrives and surprises Kate, who excitedly greets him with a hug. Kate says this is so great and a surprise as she thought he had to stay in Chicago. Rex explains that he convinced his supervisor that he had more important work to do here as the FDA asked him to provide follow up data on the experimental drug they gave Kate a few months ago, to know that it’s safe. Kate points out that it saved her life. Roman asks what kind of data they are looking for. Rex says it’s just simple blood work. Roman asks if they have to worry about Kate’s health. Rex says it’s just a formality and that he has everything in his bag, so they could just knock it out right now. Kate asks what if she refuses.

Kristen sends Rachel to join her friend at the hot chocolate stand. Chloe questions Kristen about her and Brady being back together but not sleeping in the same room. Kristen claims they are just taking things slow, but getting more intimate each day. Chloe says that’s not the impression she got from Rachel. Kristen informs Chloe that Rachel wasn’t there when Brady planted a kiss on Sister Mary Moira because he thought she was her. Chloe asks if she’s saying that a nun got more action than she ever will. Kristen says that Brady is letting his guard down and it’s clear that he wants her. Kristen adds that she asked Brady what would happen next if it was her that he kissed. Kristen says the heat was off the charts and that they would’ve made love right then on the couch if John hadn’t walked in and ruined everything. Kristen assures that there will be another moment soon as she plans to ring in the New Year in Brady’s bed.

Brady tells Eric that everything he’s saying makes perfect sense except the part where he kidnaps his own daughter. Brady refuses to put Rachel through that kind of trauma. Eric argues that she’ll never know as they will let her believe that he’s going on a fun vacation with Uncle Eric. Eric says Rachel will have fun, Kristen will lose her mind, and then Rachel wil be home and they will have saved lives.

Wendy tells Stefan that they already talked about Jakarta the other day. Stefan feels they need to have their own separate conversation since she works for DiMera. Stefan understands it was Johnny’s idea but states that Wendy agreeing to it was egregiously irresponsible of her. Wendy responds that she knows what she did was wrong and she feels terrible about it. Stefan questions if she thought Li signing off on the expenses would lead to him not finding out how deceptive she had been. Stefan says being young and in love is great but he can’t understand putting her career and professional standing at risk, unless there’s another reason that she was in Jakarta.

Li gives Arianna a luck bracelet and talks about how lucky he will be to marry Gabi and also have Arianna in his life. Arianna acknowledges that she will have three dads and says that is special. Gabi declares that she’s the luckiest person in the world. Arianna hugs Li and thanks him for her gift. Gabi proclaims that this is going to be the best Christmas ever. Arianna plans to wear her bracelet to the wedding and says if it will bring her luck, she will wear it every day. Li brings up that New Year’s weddings are considered lucky in China. Arianna asks if Gabi will change her last name when they get married since Will and Sonny did not. Gabi is not sure and says she needs to think about it. Gabi mentions that Sonny will be there soon to pick her up and asks if she’s packed. Arianna says that she just needs to make sure her new bracelet matches all her outfits and goes to pack. Li tells Gabi that he doesn’t expect her to take his last name. Gabi talks about becoming a DiMera when she married Stefan and staying one when she thought he was dead, but now they are divorced and hate each other’s guts, so she can’t wait to feel like her own person again. Gabi asks how Gabriela Hernandez-Shin sounds. Li calls it perfect as they kiss.

Wendy asks Stefan what else she would have been doing in Jakarta. Johnny then comes downstairs and in to the living room. Johnny asks Wendy what she’s doing there. Wendy tells him that she was worried about him after the explosion. Johnny assures that he’s fine and apologizes for not calling her. Johnny says he’s also sorry that Stefan is giving her the third degree about their trip to Jakarta. Johnny tells Stefan that he was being impulsive and wanted to impress Wendy. Stefan asks if it did impress her. Wendy assures that it did and asks who wouldn’t be impressed. Johnny says now that his stellar first impression has been made, he can promise it won’t happen again. Stefan warns him to see that it doesn’t as he then exits the room.

Rex questions Kate not wanting him to draw her blood. Kate points out that she hasn’t had any setbacks, side effects, or any issues. Rex says that’s why he needs her blood to prove the drug is safe and it will also get the FDA off his back and allow him to keep his medical license. Kate then gives in and agrees to do it.

Chloe tells Kristen that it sounds like a lot of wishful thinking to her. Chloe knows that when it comes to Brady, she is completely deluded. Kristen questions why she cares so much since Chloe moved on from Brady in two seconds. Kristen says she hears things are getting serious with Chloe and Stefan, mentioning that they are jetting off to Miami for the New Year. Chloe questions who told her that. Kristen says it doesn’t matter but if all goes well, maybe this time next year she’ll be her sister in law and they’ll all be at the holiday table. Chloe bets that this time next year, Kristen will be back in prison for her countless felonies. Kristen argues that Brady knows she’s changed and that she makes him incredibly happy. Chloe asks why Brady stood her up for lunch then. Kristen claims he’s just running late. Chloe says she can tell herself that and advises Kristen to keep an eye on her daughter because she’s wandering off. Chloe remarks that given who her mother is, she can’t blame her. Kristen says she takes back what she said to Rachel about being nice on Christmas. Chloe states that she’d rather die than be across the holiday table from her. Kristen says that’s duly noted and walks away.

Brady tells Eric that he’s sorry but he’s not kidnapping his daughter on Christmas. Eric suggests doing it after then but Brady says it’s not happening ever. Eric questions letting Kristen torture him while Marlena, Kayla, and Kate relapse and possibly die. Brady reminds Eric that Kristen said she would supply the additional doses. Eric asks what if she doesn’t. Eric questions how long he’s going to rely on psycho to do the right thing or if he’s finally going to take control of his own life again for all of them. Brady questions who knew Eric could be so ruthless. Eric says he’s gotten nowhere in years, so he’s tired of being the victim and a doormat. Eric brings up Kristen raping and drugging him, so he has no obligation to show any mercy to her and they need to play hard ball. Eric asks if Brady is in or out.

Gabi thanks Li for being amazing with Arianna. Li says his father is not exactly the warm and fuzzy type, so he promised to be different with his children. Gabi mentions that they hadn’t really discussed if he wants kids of his own since she can’t have any more. Li tells her that she, Will, and Sonny are raising an amazing child, so being Arianna’s stepdad is all he needs. Arianna comes back in and asks about the cookies. Li points out that Gabi made some and he made some, so Arianna asks to test them to see which she likes better. Arianna declares that Li’s is the winner.

Johnny asks Wendy if she thinks Stefan is suspicious about why they went to Jakarta. Wendy responds that he’s definitely not happy that they went. Wendy admits she could hardly focus on a word he was saying because she felt so guilty about keeping this secret from him. Johnny says he’s right there with her. Wendy says she wanted to just blurt out that Dr. Rolf brainwashed Stefan in to hating Gabi, but he loves her. Wendy adds that telling Stefan that could change his whole life. Johnny points out that it would ruin EJ and Li’s lives. Wendy brings up that Li is marrying Gabi next week and part of her is excited because Li is so excited, but she can’t stop thinking about how none of this would be happening if Stefan knew how he really felt about Gabi.

Stefan joins Chloe in the town square. Chloe mentions running in to Kristen but says she doesn’t want to waste another minute talking about her.

Eric tells Brady that Kristen plays God with people’s lives and it’s wrong. Brady questions if kidnapping isn’t. Eric says he would only do it if Brady signed off on it. Kristen then comes home with Rachel and asks if they are interrupting.

Rex takes Kate’s blood and says she did great. Rex is grateful she’s doing so well and says he will run the samples to the hospital. Rex tells Kate and Roman that he loves them and exits. Kate asks Roman if he knew Rex was coming home. Roman admits he had no idea. Kate says she couldn’t be more happy. Roman mentions that Caroline always said family love is warmer at Christmas. Kate knows she said she was missing family, but says they have the family they are born in to and the family they chose. Kate is happy that they chose to be together again after all these years. Roman talks about never giving up on Kate and getting married when she was on her deathbed while now they are in it for the long haul as they kiss.

After Arianna leaves, Gabi tells Li that she can get started on wrapping presents. Li wants his reward for winning the cookie tasting contest, so they start kissing until Gabi gets a call from the seamstress about Arianna’s dress for the wedding. Gabi questions her and hangs up, then gets upset about it and storms out.

Stefan gives Chloe her Christmas present since she will be in New York tomorrow. Chloe thought they would wait until they were in Miami. Stefan explains that this one is time sensitive so Chloe opens it and it’s center stage opera tickets to Amahl and the Night Visitors. Chloe questions how he got these when it’s been sold out for months. Stefan calls it Christmas magic. Chloe calls it a wonderful and thoughtful gift, but notes that there are five tickets. Stefan explains that it’s for Chloe, Nancy, Parker, and Joy while the fifth could be for Mike if Nancy wants to take a date or Craig, or if they have plans then Chloe can take him. Chloe questions Stefan not having plans in Salem. Stefan jokes about the dysfunctional DiMeras. Stefan thought they could spend Christmas in New York with her family and then fly down to Miami. Chloe points out that this is his first Christmas since coming back from the dead. Stefan responds that being in the DiMera Mansion after everything that happened at Susan’s memorial service might be a little too much. Stefan adds that if Chloe doesn’t want him tagging along, she can just say the word.

Brady says he and Eric were just discussing their holiday plans. Rachel runs up and hugs Eric, asking him about what he got her for Christmas. Kristen reminds Brady that he was supposed to meet them for lunch. Brady says he got to talking to Eric and lost track of time, but that she could’ve texted him. Kristen informs him that they had an unpleasant interaction with Chloe, so they decided to come home. Kristen tells Brady about Chloe and Stefan going off to Miami for New Year’s. Brady turns and exchanges looks with Eric.

Wendy tells Johnny that they can try to rationalize it but deep down, they know what is happening is wrong. Johnny argues that they agreed to keep quiet because they don’t want to hurt EJ and Li. Wendy is still sick over what they did in brainwashing Stefan. Johnny knows it’s a big secret to keep. Wendy points out that now they are lying by saying they went to Jakarta because they are romantically involved. Wendy says EJ and Li know the truth, but everyone else thinks they are dating. Johnny guesses there’s no reason to pretend any longer and suggests they could fake break up.

Chloe questions Stefan not minding dealing with her crazy family. Stefan says it will be a blast, so Chloe says she would love for him to come to New York with her. Stefan thanks her and says he’s excited to see Parker again. Stefan mentions getting him a gift too which Chloe calls very thoughtful of him. Chloe thanks him and they start kissing right as Gabi and Li walk up and see them.

Kate tells Roman that she had sent all of Rex’s Christmas presents to Chicago. Roman says seeing her healthy is the only gift he needs. Kate insists that everyone needs presents on Christmas and that some special people get to open some on Christmas Eve as she gives Roman an envelope. Kate notes that he has others but this is the big one. Roman opens the envelope which is a trip to Zurich to see Austin, Carrie, and Noah. Kate thought he would be happy. Roman reveals that he loves it, so much that he got her the exact same thing.

Rachel shows Eric the mistletoe that she made at school for Brady and Kristen. Rachel says if they stand under it, they have to kiss. Eric points out that’s only if it’s a real mistletoe. Rachel says nobody told her that, so now she has to go find a real mistletoe and leaves the room. Eric remarks that Kristen sure trained her well. Kristen argues that it’s only natural for a child to want their parents together and claims she hasn’t done anything to encourage it. Eric doesn’t believe that for a second. Kristen asks if Eric doesn’t have enough to deal with in his own love life to be butting in to their love life. Brady clarifies that they do not have a love life. Kristen argues that they are getting closer every day and becoming a family again. Kristen knows family means everything to Brady and he’d never want to do anything to let them down…

Wendy questions Johnny suggesting they fake break up and asks if he means pretending they don’t like each other anymore. Johnny says they’ll have to stage a couple fights to make it believable in front of Allie, Chanel, Stefan, and Gabi. Wendy responds that she doesn’t want to do that and thinks it would be easier to just keep doing what they are doing now. Johnny agrees and then gets Wendy a Christmas present. Wendy feels bad as she didn’t get anything for him. Johnny explains that he was just walking by the other day, saw this, and it reminded her of him. Johnny says most of what he told Stefan was not true, but he is a little impulsive at times and maybe he did want to impress her a little bit. Wendy opens it and it’s a wrap shawl which Johnny helps her put on as they get close.

Stefan and Chloe continue kissing until noticing Gabi and Li walk up. Gabi says they have a wedding attire emergency to attend to. Chloe points out that next time they see them, they will be husband and wife. Li notes that the wedding isn’t until next week. Stefan explains that they are flying to New York tonight and then to Miami. Gabi remarks that it’s too bad they won’t be there to see them become man and wife, but she’s sure there will be plenty of pictures online so they can see what they missed. Chloe congratulates them and says they wish them the best. Gabi and Li then walk off.

Kate tells Roman that great minds think alike and at least their gifts didn’t cancel each other out and shows how much they love each other. Kate decides they will just take two trips to Zurich, Roman likes the idea as they kiss until Rex returns to the Pub. Kate asks Rex if she has a clean bill of health. Rex points out that it’s the holidays so they won’t have the results for a few days. Kate guesses if she has to worry all through Christmas. Rex assures that everything is fine. Roman then calls for egg nog and declares that they have a lot to celebrate so they are starting now.

Brady tells Kristen that she knows he would never let his family down. Kristen remarks that his loyalty is more critically important than they will ever know. Kristen then goes to check on Rachel. Eric asks Brady if he still wants to tell him that Kristen won’t put the screws to him before turning over the orchid and that’s if she does. Eric warns that Kristen is going to have them under her thumb until they do something about it. Brady then hates to admit it but Rachel is the best leverage he’s got, so he has to use it. Eric promises that Rachel will be safe the entire time and assures this will be the best thing for her too. Brady then agrees to do it.

Opinion Article

Victor and Maggie in "Days of Our Lives" on Peacock

This is another wonderful week ending for Days. The past year has shown many changes to the show, and many characters have left. First there were Ben and Ciara, who are sailing the world with their son. Then Abigail was killed off, which for some viewers was very sad, since many fans have grown up with Abigail. Then Jake was killed off, and his brother Stefan returned from the dead. Susan Banks was also killed off. Of course, the saddest is that John Aniston will not be back, due to his real-life death.

Relationships in Salem don’t last very long, and some of the characters are being blamed for their actions. Nicole is a very fickle character and forever changing her men, like some people change their toothbrush. Eric is into the blaming game and does not really want to take responsibility for his own actions. He chose to be with Jada, even though he was still in love with Nicole. He blamed Nicole for Jada’s choice in ending her pregnancy. Brady’s decision to break-up with Chole was due to Kristen blackmailing him because of the Orchid she has in her possession, which would save Marlena, Kate and Kayla. This leaves viewers to believe that he is passive and fearful of psycho Kristen (a woman he loved, not too long ago.

The only real love relationship in Days lately is with Alex and Stephanie (both fairly new actors/characters). They bring a new breath of fresh air to bloom. With the New Year, viewers would appreciate seeing more lasting love relationships that are stable, and more family involvement. Also, many old time viewers want Days to be brought back to NBC. With the rising prices and inflation, it’s very hard for many to pay for the long-time soap that they’ve been so loyal and devoted to. Either way, let’s hope for a great year for the show!

Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Stefan answered the door at the DiMera mansion. It was Wendy. She said she was there to check on Johnny. Stefan asked her about Jakarta. He said he didn’t understand why she put her career on the line. He asked if there was another reason why she was there. Johnny showed up and said he was being impulsive for why they went to Jakarta. He said he wanted to impress her. Stefan told him not to let it happen again. Stefan left them alone. They were upset that they have to keep lying. One of the lies they mentioned was that they are dating. He said they could pretend to break up. She said it would be better to keep the lie going. He agreed to keep dating. He gave her a gift. Kristen and Rachel saw Chloe in the Square. Rachel was rude to Chloe. Kristen told Rachel that they should be kind even to people who stole things that don’t belong to them. Rachel apologized to Chloe. Rachel asked when she was going to get her wish of her parents getting back together. Rachel said they don’t sleep in the same room. Kristen sent her to get hot chocolate. While Rachel was gone, Kristen and Chloe get into an argument.

At John and Marlena’s apartment, Brady told Eric that his suggestion to kidnap Rachel was crazy. Eric said it was crazy that Kristen had his mother’s life in her hands. He said she had too much power and had to be stopped. Brady said that was true, but he wasn’t going to put Rachel through the trauma of being kidnapped. Eric said she would never know. He said she would think that she was going on vacation with him. He said Kristen would lose her mind while Rachel was having fun in the sun. He said Brady could get the orchid. Brady said he didn’t know Eric could be so ruthless. Eric said he was tired of being the victim. He said Kristen drugged and raped him, so he didn’t want to show her mercy. He said he would only go through with the plan if Brady was okay with it. Kristen showed with Rachel. Kristen told him Stefan and Chloe were going to Miami for New Years. Brady and Kristen argued with each other. When they were finished, Kristen took Rachel to her room. Eric told Brady that Kristen would keep them under her thumb if they didn’t do something. Brady said he hated to admit it, but Rachel was the best leverage he had over Kristen. Eric said she would be safe the entire time. Brady agreed to do it.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Brook Lynn: Good evening, everyone. I know you’re all anxious for the main event to begin, and the concert will start in just a matter of minutes. But first, we will announce the results of our ugly christmas sweater contest. And look who we have here — our first runner-up, detective dante falconeri. Let’s give this guy a big round of applause.

[ Applause ] Okay. When did you enter the contest? I didn’T. I don’t know what she’s talking about. This is my favorite sweater.

[ Chuckles ] I didn’t think you’d come. Neither did I. But dante informed me that the ccrb may be reviewing my case in a few months. Thanks to your letter or whatever else you did. Which was what, exactly?

[ Sighs ] Looks like brook lynn pulled it off. Yeah, just in the saint nick of time.

[ Laughs ] You get it? Yeah. Your holiday humor is on point.

[ Chuckles ] Look who it is. Mrs. Claus. Oh, with my trusted assistant elf. That’s me. Like we practiced. Merry christmas.

[ Gasps ] Thank you. Hey, I just got home, and I’m getting everything ready. “Christina comes home for christmas” will be all set when you get here. So text me when you leave trina’s, okay?

[ Doorbell rings ] Love you. Avery: Merry christmas, mama carly!

[ Laughing ] Oh, my goodness! Spencer. What — merry christmas. You said you were leaving town. Because I was going to. I thought that there was nothing here for me anymore. And I was wrong. But if you want me to go, just say the words and I’ll leave you alone.

Jingle hell, jingle hell, jingle all the way

so much pain nik will feel when daddy comes to slay, hey!

[ Chuckles ] What do you think, ace? A solid plan? I know it’s risky, but… we’ve got to do whatever we can to get out of here. Doesn’t starting the new year off with our real family sound wonderful? And who would that be? A perfect fit. Oh. Buck up, santa. Bad attitudes get bupkis under the tree.

[ Quietly ] And this year, our christmas lists have one thing in common. Justice for our little girl and pain for everyone who dared hurt her. Still no bars. Great.

[ Vehicle approaches ]

Hey, thank you for stopping. Um, actually, I-I figured it out. So I don’t need any help. And I’m sure that you have somewhere that you need to be. So… here’s good. Okay, I get it. This is the definition of “should have called first.” I’m sorry for the intrusion. Shoes off. Are you drunk? You never talk about your family. You never ask. If it’s not about the baby or my supposed “crime spree,” you’re not interested. No adoptive family to pine for. They’re gone. Thanks for the reminder. Yeah. Your biological family, they’re — they’re a mystery. So what’s left? Chosen family? Close friends that are searching for you, who would move heaven and earth to find you? Is that so impossible to believe? In a word, yes. As far as I can tell, the only person who gives a damn about you is…me. How sad is that? The man whose life you dismantled is the closest thing that you have to family. Oh, so you give a damn about me, huh? And how would, um, ava react to you talking like that? Wouldn’t you like to know. Oh, I think I do. You should be with your wife right now, or at least attempting to woo her back. And instead, you’re here half drunk and lording your power over me. Tell me, nikolas. Did ava finally wise up and cut you loose for good? Carly: Oh, I’m so happy to see you! Is santa outside? Why? Because you are the best present he could have ever brought me.

[ Laughs ] Santa’s busy tonight. He sure is. Well, we were just on our way to the gingerbread jam and thought we’d pop by for a visit. Do you have time for some hot cocoa? Do we, mommy? I think we can squeeze it in. Yay! Double yay! Run in the kitchen. It’s all set up.

[ Sighs ] Thank you. Well, I-I was just accommodating avery’s wishes. Take your time. I’ll be in the car. Ava. Why don’t you join us? Or don’T. You know I’m not going to say please. Mac: Hey. Hey. Oh, hey. We missed the judging? Yeah. How is that an ugly sweater? Uh, thank you, felicia. That’s what I was saying. Apparently, you were robbed. I put a lot of time and effort into this sweater. Too much time and effort, one might say.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Well, I think you look great. This is where you say “thank you.” Sorry. Duty calls. Oh. Now, that truly is one of the ugliest sweaters I’ve ever seen. Oh, yeah. Isn’t it? I didn’t know the review board was revisiting your case. Considering revisiting. Chase, this is amazing. It could be. But I have a hunch your letter alone wasn’t enough to seal the deal. I didn’t even know they read the letter. W-what’s with the third degree? Isn’t this what you wanted? Of course it’s what I wanted. I’m just trying to figure — chase and blaze were supposed to be onstage 10 minutes ago. Is this happening or not? Because if it isn’t, you can kiss our partnership and all your precious songs goodbye.

Donna, this is absolutely beautiful. Did you do this yourself? Daddy helped. Oh, daddy helped. Oh, let me guess what part you did. The glitter. How do you know? Because you still are wearing some of it. Ah. And you, young lady, how about you do me a favor and help me find the perfect spot for this, okay, on my tree later on? I want it front and center.

[ Laughs ] Hey, why don’t you put this on the tree, too? Or I can eat it. Oh. Or that. But you’d better ask your dad first. Yeah, yeah. It’s christmas eve. You can have a candy cane. Uh, you know what? She wanted to, uh, go see the reindeer, so… I would be delighted. All right.

[ Chuckles ] Here, this way.

[ Sighs ] Ladies and gentlemen, the moment you have all been waiting for has finally arrived. Please help me welcome to the stage two of music’s fastest rising stars, chase and blaze!

[ Cheers and applause ] Hello, port charles! Thanks for coming out. We’re excited to be here. That’s right. We’ve got a lot of holiday tunes coming your way. But before that — our new song drops tonight. But guess who gets to hear it first?

[ Cheers and applause ]

That’s right. That’s right. Are you guys ready? Let’s do this. Yes. Keep me close when you go far away keep this light to see you through together: Close your eyes to find a better way buried deep to something true and I’ll find a way I’ll find a way to you I’ll find a way I’ll find a way to you and all the stars are shining in your eyes could we find a place beyond the lies? I’ll be here when you return ’cause I’ll find a way I’ll find a way I’ll find a way to you I’ll find a way I’ll find a way I’ll find a way to you find a way to you I’ll find a way I’ll find a way I’ll find a way to you find a way to you I’ll find a way I’ll find a way I’ll find a way to you and hope won’t change what won’t return but I’ll take a chance so please don’t turn away I’ll find a way I’ll find a way to you I’ll find a way you okay? Yeah, I’m fine. What are you doing here? Tailing you. Wow. You’re not even going to try to come up with another excuse? Why bother? Hey, does — does this hurt? Um… a little. You sure you’re okay? Yes, I’m fine. Something you’re not going to be when sonny finds out about this. I’ll handle it. And if there’s a meat hook involved? Better me on a hook than a hook in you. Spencer: Where is everybody? Trina: Watching a movie. Wow. You guys really went all-out with the christmas decorations. Um, my mom, marshall, and curtis went all out. This isn’t the norm for a robinson christmas, believe me. Makes sense, though, right? First christmas in a new house. Got to go big. They’re trying to make things better for me. After, uh, rory, you mean. I appreciate the effort, but — it didn’t work?

[ Sighs ] Don’t say anything, okay? I’m not gonna. I played along and pretended to be in the spirit. But, honestly, my only wish for this christmas is to wake up and have these last few days just be a bad dream. Past few years for me. I would change everything. Everything? Except coming back to port charles. Because then I wouldn’t have met you. I’ll find a way I’ll find a way I’ll find a way to you

[ Cheers and applause ] Uh, I know it’s christmas eve. Oh, but something’s come up? I got to cut out early. Oh — dante: Hey, what’s going on? You get a break on cabrera? Dante, enjoy the night off. What is it? Is it the earring? See you later. Hopefully under the mistletoe. Actually, you’re coming with me. I am? But if this is police business — partly. It’s also personal. We do have a lead on rory’s murder. It goes back to you. And ryan chamberlain.

Pulled dna offthe earring found on rory. Dante: So you got a hit? A woman named gloria wilson. What? That’s — that’s someone you — you know? Uh, it’s ryan’s ex-wife. Okay, so what — what are we saying, that she’s working with esme now? Is she a suspect? She can’t be. Why not? She’s dead. I witnessed her murder. She died. Ryan killed her 30 years ago. How does an earring from one victim of a serial killer end up connected to another victim of a serial killer three decades later? That’s a good question. Well, there’s only one way to get answers. Actually, I think I may have changed my mind. Ah, too late. Like you said, this is personal. You guys were incredible. Could you feel the energy out here? Uh, you were a little pitchy. Thanks. And we need to talk wardrobe. I said santa’s mistress, not santa’s mother-in-law. Come on.

[ Speaking indistinctly ] I can’t wait for that sleaze to be canceled. Yeah, I hear that. So, does this mean what I think it means? You willing to give us another shot? Um… got a lead on the hook. What are you still doing here? Go.

[ Grunts ] Josslyn: Hey. You get service? Um, a few bars show up like 50 yards down. Um, the tow’s on its way. Listen, you don’t have to wait here with me. Tow truck’s going to get here. It’s freezing. What are you doing? You said you were cold. Well, yeah, but, I-I mean, I-I meant I didn’t want you to be cold. Here. You know, if I want you to take your clothes off, you’ll know. Yeah? How so? I’m very direct that way. I like that about you. You say what’s on your mind, what you’re feeling. Except for when you’re not sure. Excuse me. I am fully in touch with all of my feelings. If you say so. I do say so. Care to test that? Walkie talkies?

[ Laughs ] Yeah. ‘Cause you’re too young for a phone. Yeah, much too young. And anyway, these are more fun because only people who know your secret frequency can talk to you. Well, go, give it a try. Oh, wait. Leave one for me!

[ Laughs ]

[ Sighs ] Supposed to snow tonight. Uh-huh. Does sonny have avery tomorrow? He does. Hm. Well, that’s all I got.

[ Scoffs ] I told you I’d wait in the car. Yeah, so you could call nina and you guys could talk about me. No. Oh, no. We avoid the subject of you like the plague.

[ Scoffs ] Nikolas, then. Oh. Is there trouble in paradise? Wow. And after you reveled in my divorce. Yeah, I know. Karma is indeed a bitch. I didn’t think I’d live to see the day. Drop it. Oh, has it hit the society pages yet? Ryan: Time’s running out. You need to recommit yourself to the task. Destroying ava and nikolas.

[ Quietly ] Daddy will be so pleased. Nikolas: What did you say? I asked who gets the house. What part of “drop it” is confusing to you? Oh. Don’t worry, ace. Your father’s not mad at you. He’s mad at himself. He has a bad habit of miscalculating. Like when he locked your mother up in here as if she was the boogeyman. You know, I’m not. You’ll figure that out when someone else dies, and you’ll have only yourself to blame. Spencer: I’m so sorry about rory. Yeah. Me, too. I’ve heard from pretty much everyone what a good guy he was. And he obviously meant a lot to you.

[ Sighs ] It’s still so weird to hear people talk about him in the past tense. Sorry. Don’t be. You’re right. He was here, and now he’s gone. Because of me. Trina, no. If he had never met me, he’d still be alive. I’m to blame. It’s my fault. I brought esme to port charles. I-I-I put you in her path. You’re trying to help, and I’m grateful. But esme being caught is the only thing that will make this right. Not better — but right. I agree, esme deserves to be brought to justice. And if the police won’t do it, then I will. Merry christmas. It’s the least I could do after you took such good care of our daughter. Don’t worry that you didn’t get me anything. Those bedroom eyes are gift enough. Besides, didn’t spend a dime on it. Well? Aren’t you going to open it?

[ Laughs ] Just kidding. You are going to jump for joy when you see what is inside this. Oh, but, oops. You can’t, can you?

[ Chuckles ] Besides, we don’t want all the loons around here getting jealous. Mac: Pcpd. Yeah, we’re here to see one of your guests. Felicia: Talk about a generous description. Heather, step away from ryan. Yeah. Maybe you can tell us what you were doing with him.

Okay, I’m ready to give this another try, because no matter what happened, linc needs to be stopped. Yes. Chase, you have no idea how happy this makes me — hey, hang on, ’cause I-I want to be really, really clear. When I say give this another try, I mean our business partnership. Nothing more. So, my goal… mm-hmm. …Is not to be a downer tonight. That’s impossible. With what happened to rory, it just makes me think about J. Makes sense. And it’s not lost that it must be really difficult for you to think about your son putting his life on the line every day. Maybe I deserve it, considering what I put people through over the years. Mnh-mnh. Tell you what. Why don’t we go, you know, to all saints on the way home and light a candle for your brother? Yeah. And for dante. Done. And is that mac scorpio under all that scruff? Meow. He’s taken. Oh, the aztec princess herself. It is such an honor to be in the presence of royalty. Do you know who that is? Well, of course. Ryan chamberlain’s practically the mayor in these parts. I’m just a volunteer fill-in while his orderly’s off the clock. That’s great. Then you can translate, yeah? Lose something? The whole reason that esme came after you is because she knows that hurting you means hurting me. And now she’s coming after the people who are closest to you. The people who stood in your corner and who defended you, all due credit to ava and diane. But you were my biggest defender. And esme hates me for it. I’m her biggest target. Well, if esme wants me, she can have me.

[ Vehicle approaching ] Oh. Sorry. Um, don’t be. No, I-I mean it. I shouldn’t have complicated things.

[ Sighs ] Would you stop? I don’t need you making excuses for my choices. No, that’s not what I meant. I’m — thank you so much for coming. So, what did you ask santa for? Will he still bring it if I tell? I think you’re thinking of birthday wishes. Those are supposed to be kept secret. Christmas is different. But you do not have to tell me if you don’t want to. I asked santa to bring you a happy new year. Your christmas wish was for me?

[ Sighs ] Donna, that is the kindest, most generous thing. Thank you, sweetie. I really hope santa comes through. So do I. Hey, you want to get some cocoa? With extra marshmallows. Yes.

[ Laughs ] I’m a little confused right now. I thought — we had an agreement. I promised to help you get your songs back from linc, and I’m keeping that promise. But that’s it. That’s as far as this goes. But the letter, your second chance with the ccrb, doesn’t that give us a second chance, too? I appreciate what you did for me. And, yeah, that is why I’m here tonight. But that doesn’t change the fact that you played god with my future. That’s a little bit of an overstatement. I disagree. You took away my agency, brook lynn. You made choices without consulting me about my own life. I’m so sorry. I know you are. Then can’t we get past this? Go back to the way things were? No. We can’T. Don’t hold back celebrating on my account. I just can’t believe nikolas cheated on you. Multiple times, with multiple women, as a matter of fact. Wow. I thought nikolas was smarter than that. I’m really sorry. So am I. Avery:

[ Through walkie talkie ] Mommy? You just have to push that button — I know how it works.

[ Walkie talkie beeps ] Hi, sweetheart.

Does it work?

[ Walkie talkie beeps ] Yeah — yes, yes, it’s working. Now, why don’t you come back in here? It’s time for us to go to the gingerbread jam. Oh, and — and what do you say to carly?

Thank you, mama carly! You’re welcome, sweetheart. Well, that’S… a very thoughtful gift. Thank you. And merry christmas, carly. Merry christmas, ava. And, uh, have a happy new year, if I don’t see you. God knows I can’t wait for this one to be over. Here’s hoping for a fresh start for all of us. “Didn’t jordan tell you? No ava, no info.” W-what does that mean? Dante: Oh, man. A cop is dead, you son of a bitch. Talk — now. You need to take a break. Aw, come on. He’s messing with us. Can’t you see that? That’s an order, detective. You know damn well this was your ex-wife’S. It was found on the person of rory cabrera. One of port charles’ finest. Right after he succumbed to wounds inflicted by a serial killer who we believe to be esme prince. You remember esme, right? One of your former confidants in here? Your room is being tossed as we speak. Uh, you can just waltz in and do that? Inmates’ rights are limited at best, but I’m sure you know that already. If there’s evidence connecting you to esme and the murders, they’ll find it. Mac: And even if there isn’t, I’m putting all this before a judge. You’re up to your ears in this case, buddy. When mac is through with you, you are going to d’archam for the rest of your sorry life. I’ll create a situation so tempting that esme won’t be able to resist. She’ll come for me, but I’ll be ready. Are you insane? You’re not baiting that maniac. Trina, it’s not your call. No, it’s jordan’S. You’d rat me out? Beats burying you, don’t you think? Trina, this will work. All I have to do is lure esme out of hiding, and it’ll work because I’ll be prepared this time. No, you’re not putting a bullseye on yourself! She is not going to have the element of surprise anymore. Lure esme out how? I don’t know. I haven’t gotten that far yet. But I will, and it will be inspired. Tell me that you think that this is a good idea. It has potential. Thank you. But it’s missing one key factor. What? Me. How nice that you find such pleasure in my misfortune. No one is keeping you here… unlike me. If you don’t like my attitude, leave. Well, excuse me for checking in. You have demetrius for that. Well, you’re not carrying demetrius’ child. I needed to see for myself that you’re all right. Do I look all right, nikolas? It’s freezing in here. I sleep in moth-eaten linens. I have no one to talk to except for the baby. About what? I’m sorry? What do you talk to the baby about? Since when do you care? You’re bored. You want real conversation. I-I’m here. You’re only here because you have nowhere else to go and certainly no one else to talk to.

[ Chuckles ] And you call me sad.

[ Door opens ] Esme: No, really think about it. The closest thing you have to companionship is your prisoner.

[ Laughing ]

Oh, I was getting so worried about you. Hi, dex. Um, dex — dex took over for steve. And I was having car trouble, so he gave me a ride home. Thank you for that. No problem. You didn’t start the movie, right? I would never start the movie without you. I’m gonna go get the popcorn, okay? Okay. Merry christmas. Back at you. Thanks again. Any time. Hopefully sooner rather than later. You alone aren’t enough bait. But you and me together? Pretending to turn to each other after rory’s death? Esme won’t be able to help herself. Absolutely not. Why? Because it’s dangerous. Oh, okay. So you can take risks, but not me. Mm-hmm. Come on. You have to admit it’s a good idea. It has potential. But I still don’t like it. So what’s the alternative, spencer? Do nothing and let someone else suffer as a result? Come on. You know we’re stronger together. This is so not what I had in mind when I came over here. I thought you came here to be my friend, to try to make me feel better. Of course I did. Then… mission accomplished. So are you in, or what? Your window of opportunity is rapidly closing. Give up esme before we nail her and she gives you up. Don’t be fooled. Ryan is dangerous, even shut in here. Tread carefully. Oh, well, thank you. And feliz navidad, your highness. Is it your majesty? No — your highness. Uh, what are you — I also turned up the heat, so don’t say that I’ve never done anything for you.

[ Mutters indistinctly ] As for lonely, you don’t know the meaning of the word yet. But you will discover it on cassadine island. Merry christmas.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ] That earring was on the chain you pilfered from me years ago. Hey. Just for that, I’m not giving you your present. You still have that chain, don’t you? Silent night holy night all is calm all is bright round yon virgin mother and child together: Holy infant so tender and mild sleep in heavenly peace sleep in heavenly peace silent night, holy night all is calm, all is bright round yon virgin mother and child holy infant so tender and mild sleep in heavenly peace sleep in heavenly peace sleep in heavenly peace

Tucker: Sharon. Hey. I have been in here so many times since I moved back to town. How is it that I have not seen you?

Sharon: I guess I’ve just been lucky.

Tucker: [Laughs] I guess my coffee’s gonna come with a little spice today, is it?

Sharon: I’ve heard that you picked up right where you left off — crashing summer and Kyle’s vow renewal, circling all of the Genoa City businesses like a vulture.

***********************************

Tucker: Ah, thank you. Yeah, uh, Ashley and I have been getting reacquainted.

[ Sniffs ] At first, she was as wary of me as you are, but I think I’m winning her over.

Sharon: And how on earth have you managed to do that?

Tucker: Uh, it hasn’t been easy. I’ve convinced her that I’m a changed man.

Sharon: Oh. Are you?

Tucker: [Chuckling] Yeah. I had a near-death experience recently, and, uh, it made me reevaluate my priorities. And so now I’m concentrating on those people who matter the most to me — Ashley, Devon, Dominic.

Sharon: Hmm. Somehow I just don’t find that completely plausible.

Tucker: Based on what?

Sharon: Well, a few years ago I got my degree in psychology, and I actually…

Tucker: Did you really?

Sharon: …Work as a therapist now. Yeah, and it’s given me very good insight into people.

Tucker: Analyze me. Come on. Let’s — let’s hear it. I think it’s gonna be challenging for you.

Sharon: I don’t think that you are as complicated as you think you are.

Tucker: Mm.

Sharon: You think you’re the smartest one around, and that’s why you believe that we’re all gonna buy what you’re selling.

Tucker: Well, my car crash is a matter of public record. You could just look that up yourself.

Sharon: Well, I don’t think you’re lying about that, but real, long-lasting change — that usually doesn’t come in an instant, from one traumatic experience. It takes work, Tucker.

Tucker: I’ve done the work. I spent a little time in an ashram.

Sharon: Ooh! Well, I bet that impressed Ashley.
